Carlos Alcaraz beat American Tommy Paul 6-4, 6-4 on Tuesday in the round of 16 of the Miami Masters. After finishing the game, the Murcian wanted to send a message to Fernando Alonso through one of the cameras where he wrote ’33? Soon’, a gesture that has gone viral.
After the match, the Spanish tennis player shared the video on social networks accompanied by the already famous “How 33?” in reference to the answer that the Asturian driver gave a few days ago when asked about the madness that has been unleashed in Spain due to his great performance with Aston Martin at the start of the World Cup, where he seeks to achieve his 33rd victory.
Alcaraz’s wink went viral, and it reached Alonso himself who wanted to thank him for his gesture with a message via Twitter: “Lock this man up! You are a phenomenon! Come on!”
The man from El Palmar wanted to humor him and continued with the joke with another ingenious message: “You have me doing somersaults,” replied the tennis player. This succession of messages made clear the good relationship that exists between the two athletes, who in recent weeks have excited both Formula 1 and tennis fans thanks to their good performances.
Carlos Alcaraz, for his part, will face American Taylor Fritz tomorrow in the quarterfinals of the Miami Masters, while Fernando Alonso seeks to reap his 33rd victory that has generated so much expectation in recent weeks.
The Asturian rider has had a brilliant start to the World Championship with two podium finishes, only surpassed in his 20 seasons by the magical 2005-07 triennium. This is his best championship start since 2012.
