Spanish tennis ace Carlos Alcaraz turned 21 on Sunday. The two-time Grand Slam champion celebrated his special day with his friends and also shared a picture from his birthday bash on his social media accounts. However, little did he know about the repercussions.
As it is with everything that is posted on social media, Alcaraz’s picture went viral and thus attracted some reactions. While a large section of fans were happy to the tennis ace enjoying his special day with his close ones, a few targeted Alcaraz for something really unusual.
The Spanish tennis ace’s birthday bash picture was shared on X by a user questioning the absence of a woman in the picture. The user posted the picture with the caption “Find a woman challenge”. It was an interesting post and so were the reactions to it.
Tennis fans were quick to point out that it was a lame attempt to criticize the Spaniard as it was the wrong place to demand equality. Check out different reactions to this post criticizing Alcaraz.
Carlos Alcaraz forearm injury keeping him out
While Carlos Alcaraz seemed to have a great time celebrating his 21st birthday with the people he loves, the Spaniard is being troubled by injuries that are keeping him away from the tennis court. The latest of them is a forearm injury that has proved to be a roadblock for Alcaraz.
The 21-year-old lost his quarterfinal match at the 2024 Madrid Open against Andrey Rublev as he could not play to his potential. Alcaraz then pulled out of the Rome Masters citing the same injury concern. It is taking longer than expected for it to heal and with the French Open approaching, it can be an issue for the youngster.
Also, the 2024 Paris Olympics is lined up and Alcaraz would not want to miss out on the chance to pair up with Rafael Nadal on the latter’s swansong. It is to be seen how the World No. 3 prepares for the second Grand Slam tournament as he stays out of action in the weeks leading to the tournament.
