The tennis world is abuzz with many historical stories about tenacity and determination. With the US Open well underway, fans are hearing more of these stories through the player’s performance. A few days back, Coco Gauff complimented Carlos Alcaraz’s smile and said that it inspires her to keep smiling on the court. The young Carlos has managed to spread his positive charisma to others through his infectious smile.
On reaching the third round of the US Open, Carlos was asked about the compliments he received from Coco. To this, he said, “We try. We try. Sometimes it’s tough to enjoy. But I try to enjoy most of the time myself on the court–Having a smile during the match, making jokes with my team.” The Spaniard is glad that he can inspire her and finds it important to enjoy every game despite the result. “I don’t mind if I win or lose,” said the 20-year-old. He reacted to Coco’s words with an ever-bigger smile.
Carlos Alcaraz’s name has skyrocketed in the world of tennis. He rightfully became the World No. 1 until a few days back when Novak Djokovic reclaimed his throne.
