Carlos Alcaraz is already making waves at the Davis Cup and it’s not just for his tennis. A video that surfaced recently showed Alcaraz taking a break from his usual routine to play some imaginary golf on the tennis court in Valencia. Joined by fellow Spaniard David Ferrer, the two were seen celebrating after trying to get the tennis ball as close to the baseline as possible, turning a typical warm-up into a lighthearted moment that had fans buzzing online.
The clip, which captured Alcaraz’s playful nature, immediately gained traction on social media. Ferrer’s role in the assist made it even more special, as both players enjoyed a moment of fun before getting back to the serious business of Davis Cup action.
