Samu López, coach of Carlos Alcaraz, has revealed one of the mysteries that many people had on social media, in his interview with Fernando Murciego for Eurosport, he unveiled the origin of his nickname 'El Puma': "This is a story I found out in Doha. They tell me: 'there's a guy on Tik Tok who is giving us names and he calls you El Puma, Albert Molina The Rock'. He calls each of us by a name. Why? You would have to ask him. In fact, on Wikipedia, you click, my resume comes up, and it says: alias 'El Puma'," the Valencian coach said jokingly.
