7-star hotels, penthouses, room service all day long, and around 50 people to help. Quite often we tend to believe that the top celebrities will be living a life like this loaded with all sorts of luxuries. Though it’s not necessary that every celebrity wants to live like this. There are a few champions who want to keep life as simple as they can.
They like to live similar to what they used to live when their name wasn’t really known to anyone. World No. 2 and one of the top tennis players in sport today, Carlos Alcaraz recently in an interview with Prakash Amritraj opened up that he still loves to live like a normal kid and loves to go to restaurants like anyone else would.
“I still go to restaurants. I live normal. I’m a normal kid. Obviously, people stop me a bit & ask for a picture. I stop, but I live normal.” Says Carlos Alcaraz when asked about his celebrity life. Well by his words one can clearly understand that the US Open champion loves to go out rather than stay indoors. He loves to explore different places in the city he is playing in. One more thing that we can notice in his words is that Alcaraz loves to stop and pose with his fans who would love to have a picture with their favorite tennis player.
In all one can very well learn that not all celebrities would want an indoor prone and a life only filled with comforts. Many like Alcaraz want to be outdoors and live like the general crowd despite the heights of greatness they have achieved in their field. Furthermore, Carlos even expressed how grateful he feels for all the love that has been showered on him during matches.
They won’t say no to luxuries but will certainly not miss an opportunity to live like a normal human. With his words the Spaniard once again has won millions of hearts.
“Nadal still the man to beat at Roland Garros” – Carlos Alcaraz
As we get closer to the French Open the tennis world is keeping a constant check on Rafael Nadal’s fitness. Not a soul wants to miss seeing Nadal in action for at least one more time on his most dominated surface where he has been crowned champion 14 times previously. However, amongst all this chaos, young Carlos Alcaraz is confident that if Nadal makes it to Paris he will still be forced to reckon with despite his struggle with injuries.
Well if one has to open the history books of Roland Garros, he will inevitably have to agree with what Alcaraz has said. Nadal’s dominance on clay is known to all and every time he walks on the surface he seems completely sure of himself and wins numerous events year after year. “Hopefully he will be in Rome and then at Roland Garros, where he will be a rival to beat. Although he hasn’t played since Australia, a man who has won a tournament 14 times will always be difficult to beat in that tournament, even if he comes without match rhythm.” Alcaraz told the media after his big 4th round win over Zverev in Madrid.
“It’ll also be difficult for him, tennis requires that competitive rhythm, but Rafa is Rafa, even if he arrives without many matches, he’ll surely show a spectacular level.” he continued. Carlos Alcaraz’s admiration for the 22-time Grand Slam champion is an open secret and he certainly wants to see his idol do what he does best.
