The ultimate proof that Alcaraz captivates the rest of the tennis players at the Laver Cup
Carlos Alcaraz is one of the most charismatic tennis players in the history of tennis, and that is saying something given that he is just starting his professional career, but no one doubts it. His unique personality, that innate ability to entertain fans on the court with unexpected actions, the talent he possesses to execute impossible shots, and his relationship with rivals and fans have earned him a very powerful personal image.
He is the main attraction at every tournament he competes in, and the Laver Cup 2026 is no exception. Evidence that the fervor for Carlos is not just limited to fans is in the responses to a question posed by the BBC this week in London. In an interesting exercise, players such as Ruud, Zverev, Tien, Cobolli, Fritz, or Fery were asked which player’s poster they would have in their room if they were 10 years old. The same question was also posed to legendary figures like McEnroe or Roddick.

Alcaraz took a long time to answer the question
What's most amazing is that everyone, absolutely everyone, chooses Carlos Alcaraz. This unanimity is remarkable, considering that none of them even thought of mentioning Sinner, for example, the current number 1 in the world, which highlights the media impact of each and the vast difference between their charisma and what their presence generates in tournaments.
It is interesting to see how Alcaraz himself hesitated when formulating a response to that question. He had to think about it a lot before eventually choosing Novak Djokovic, stating that as long as he is active, he would choose him. A very fun, curious, and symptomatic exercise of what Carlos Alcaraz represents in the world of tennis today.
