Rome Masters 1000: Carlos Alcaraz and his reaction when a kid yelled “piece of shit” at him

Carlos Alcaraz is living his first days in Rome to dispute the Masters 1000 which hosts the Italian capital and, despite his good-natured smile typical of his adolescence (he turned 20 a few days ago) and his stupendous level of play so far this year, he’s already gotten some taunts from fans.

As it was Carlitos first time at the Italian forum facilities, his travel to his routine training session was delayed due to his ignorance of the place and that is why he accepted help from the organizers of the forum. event, which made him lose more time than expected.

In that section where he couldn’t find his court to train and the anxiety because his time was advancing -every tennis player has a certain time limit to train-, he met some fans who asked him please to stop and sign some autographs and take off some photos. Alcaraz continued on his way looking forward and that’s when a spectator threw a “piece of shit” at him.with a mixed Italian and Spanish accent, as a sentiment for refusing to join them.

Due to the timbre of his voice, one may think that it was a child who launched the insult, and for the same reason Alcaraz’s reaction may be possible: he turned around to see with the corner of his eye if he had identified the detractor and launched his typical smile and then continued towards his field.

The curious moment was captured by the cameras of the official broadcast of the tournament, which accompanied Carlitos at all times to record every step of the Spaniard.

Carlitos, focused on Rome

Alcaraz was focused on his routine, as despite arriving at this Masters 1000 as number 2 in the world, behind Novak Djokovicnext week the top of the ATP ranking will be his due to the good results obtained in the last few days.

After winning the Masters 1000 in Madrid, he became the best candidate to win the tournament in Rome. His compatriot, Albert Ramos Vinolas, will appear first in his way this Saturday, and then the Murciano who is a big favorite to win the match, could face Djokovic in the semis. Comparison that only happened once.

It was a year ago, precisely in the recent Madrid tournament where that time Alcaraz won in three sets. For that match we will have to wait at least ten days and for everyone to make their way into the league.

Nole talked about Alcaraz

“Whatever happens, Carlos will be number 1 after this tournament in a deserved way, he played impressive tennis, at a high level”Djokovic said just a few hours ago about Carlitos.

The expectation to see Alcaraz in every tournament is high due to the great levels he has shown: He played six tournaments this year, of which he won four, lost one final and fell in the semifinals of the rest. Undoubtedly he is living a great present and that is why the desire of the fans to have him close is increasing.
