Carlos Alcaraz celebrates all 22 years on everyone

Alien to all the noise that surrounds him, next to his work team and some friends and wrapped by the people of Real Murcia Tennis Club 1919, with its president, Antonio Saura at the head. This is how Carlos Alcaraz celebrated his 22 years. After the training on the clay of the main club of the capital of Segura, Carlitos took a giant cake with a tennis court and had to blow the candles, split it and distribute it between jokes of Juan Carlos Ferrero, Samuel López, Juanjo Moreno and Alberto Lledó, the members of his team that were in the work session on Monday.

After training he went to eat with his family and in the afternoon he climbed a ‘Storie’ on Instagram with his parents, two of his brothers (little Jaime was missing) and his grandparents. He accompanied the image with the word “lucky.” He received thousands and thousands of congratulations from his fans and followers in networks.

The medical tests to which the current number 3 of the world was submitted last week showed that the adductor injury that suffered in the Godó Count Final has disappeared and the sensations he has noticed training in recent days are positive. Carlitos does not feel pain and performs lateral movements without limitation. After the preparatory session on Monday, the most demanding he has made since he lost against Rune in the final of Barcelona, ​​all verified that Alcaraz is definitely recovered and, therefore, will return this Friday to the official competition. Today he travels to Rome and on Friday he will face the winner of the duel between the German Jan-Lennard Struff and the Japanese Yoshihito Nishioka.

While the good news is confirmed in the physical section, its name is still on the mouth of everyone. It is rare the day when someone linked to the circuit does not talk about the documentary released by Netflix a couple of weeks ago. In him, the Murcian tennis player makes it clear that he does not want to be a slave of tennis, who wants to live the life of a boy of his age and who wants to go down in their own way, without folding to the Spartan discipline that this sport requires.

“You have the right to live”

In Madrid, a couple of days after the Docuserie de Alcaraz was released, Roberto Bautista’s Castellón stick took a stick. And yesterday was Carlos Moyá, who has been a coach for eight years of Rafa Nadal and for two weeks in March 1999 became number 1 of the ATP, who entered fully into this debate about Alcaraz’s philosophy of life. «He is 21 years old and has the right to live. Be the best in history in your own way? Nobody from Big Three did so, ”recalled the Balearic, who admits that he also lacked some maturity when he arrived. «I was very young, but the differentia is that I never wanted to be the best in history. Maybe that’s what clashes in the case of Alcaraz. Wanting to be the best in history in that way, ”Moyá added.

“Of the three who have achieved it, nobody has done it in the way he says, but it is a guru or a pioneer and gets it,” said the Balearic. «On the other hand, this is what he thinks now with 21 years. Perhaps in two years he has tired a bit of what he says of living life. Perhaps in two years the maturity of living these two years to the maximum. He is living the moment and also has the right, he has earned it. He is a great player, he has won four big, that sometimes we forget this, but it is incredible, ”Moyá finished.

And it is that everyone gives their opinion about Carlitos and there is more talk about what happens outside the clues of what happens inside. But the reality is that the Murcian turns 22 with an impressive record. He was the youngest tennis player in history in being number 1, he is already champion of four Grand Slams, of 18 tournaments, Olympic silver and winner of six Masters 1000 tournaments. Alcaraz presents some figures to which neither Nadal, nor Djokovic nor Federer approached his age.
