Carlos Alcaraz, the 20-year-old Spaniard, has taken the internet by storm by peaking rapidly. He has done wonders in tennis at a very young age and doesn’t fail to surprise his fans with ridiculous shots. During his third-round match against Dan Evans, Carlos was seen demanding a code violation for his opponent when Dan threw his racket to the ground.

The youngster emerged victorious against Evans pretty easily. There were many long rallies in the match, and Dan could only win a set against the Spaniard. In one of those long rallies, Dan had the upper hand, making Alcaraz chase the ball, but soon the World No. 2 capitalized and won the point. Losing a winning point angered Dan, who threw his racket on the ground.

Carlos then demanded a code violation for the British. However, the clip caused a lot of controversy among the tennis community. Fans are criticizing Alcaraz for being two-faced or having double standards. Carlos has worn a sleeveless jersey to honor his idol, Rafael Nadal. Fans are now accusing him of copying more of Nadal, as his recent action has reminded them of Rafa.
