As you read by now, Carlos Alcaraz won his second French Open on Sunday after a thrilling final against Jannik Sinner.
On Monday, the Spaniard travelled to (what looks like) relax in Ibiza, the gloriouslly beautiful island off Spain.
No, your eyes do not fool you: There is Carlos Alcaraz hanging out with former Tottenham (and Brentford) player Sergio Reguilon.
Who knew the two were friends? Or did they just bump into each other?
Carlos Alcaraz has said that he is a supporter of Real Madrid, which used to be Reguilon’s club before joining Spurs in 2020 along with Gareth Bale. That was a good day.
It isn’t every week your hoddler-in-chief gets to write two tennis posts in consecutive days. Today was such lucky day.
Alcaraz will soon shift his focus to the grass court season after taking his holiday in Ibiza. He is currently scheduled to play at the Queens Club Championships next week, which is a 500 level ATP Tour event.
Queen’s Club usually has a strong entry field due to how close it is before Wimbledon. Other entrants this year include British #1 Jack Draper, last year’s champion Tommy Paul and runner-up Lorenzo Mussetti, Tommy Paul, Holger Rune and Ben Shelton. Other interesting players include Frances Diafoe, Grigor Dimitrov, Jakub Mensik and Matteo Arnaldi.
