A few days earlier, Alcaraz had posed for a picture surrounded by female athletes at the Olympic Village. He was teased for this, and even commentators mentioned it during his match. Fans quickly connected his stretching video to that picture, trolling him even more.

"Training hard for that Olympic Village experience," a fan commented on X. 

On the sports side of things, Alcaraz started his campaign with a comfortable win against the Lebanese ace. He had a huge night ahead of him to play both singles and doubles. Luckily, he won both those matches and secured places in the next rounds.

Alcaraz’s singles match was a non-surprising victory. In the kind of form he is in, the victory was very much expected. However, all the focus was on his doubles match alongside Rafael Nadal, who had taped his right thigh.

Carlos Alcaraz, current favorite of the Olympic Village, was caught on cameras stretching before his first singles match. However, netizens decided to make the most of that moment and trolled him for that as well. Here are a few of those comments:

Nadal and Alcaraz were up against Argentina’s top doubles players Andres Molteni and Maximo Gonzalez. They were ranked as World No.6 and it was a tough matchup for the Spaniard who were set to play their first doubles match together. At the start, Alcaraz showed a bit of nerves but grew into the match to support his teammate and secure the win. 

They won the first set in the tie-break and the actual challenge came in the second set when they were three games down. However, they broke right back and eventually won the match 7-6(4), 6-4.
