THE SPORT SCAN – Present for the first time at the Rome tournament, the Spaniard was insulted after not stopping to sign an autograph. And answered with a smile.
Present for the first time at the Rome tournament, Carlos Alcaraz is at the center of all attention. As he arrived this Thursday to warm up, the Spaniard – who could also recover his place as world N.1 – had the right to a walkabout. But as fans shout his name, Alcaraz doesn’t stop, which has angered one of them. The latter, annoyed, then exclaims in Italian “pezzo di merda”. Which means “little shit”. The prodigy then turned around but preferred to laugh.
Carlos Alcaraz will make his debut on Saturday in Rome against his compatriot Ramos-Vinolas.
