Blockx talks about his date with actress and model Margarida Corceiro: "I went crazy"

Alexander Blockx starred in one of the most curious and amusing moments of the year regarding celebrity gossip in the ATP circuit a few months ago, during the Estoril tournament in July. Photos of the Belgian alongside the famous Portuguese actress and model Margarida Corceiro went viral; she had come to watch the tournament and had the opportunity to meet the tennis player.

The backstory of the meeting, narrated by Blockx himself on the podcast Nothing Major, spread like wildfire on social media due to the tennis player's honesty, who was a finalist in the Estoril tournament. "I remember I was playing against Burruchaga and I looked up at the stands. Suddenly, I saw this girl with a friend and thought, 'Wow, what is she doing here?'. When I got to the locker room, I mentioned it to my agent, and he suddenly said he could arrange a meeting with her," he said.

Blockx declared himself a big fan of Margarida Corceiro: "She constantly appears on my social media feeds."

"I went crazy. I couldn't believe it. That girl was constantly showing up in my For You feed on social media. I started to get nervous knowing that I was going to meet her. You can imagine what it was like to see her in person," he said with a laugh, confirming that if she had asked him to go to dinner together, he would have accepted even without time to recover from the match or shower. 

A genius and a character, the Belgian tennis player Alexander Blockx, stirred up a wave of rumors with those photographs alongside a Margarida Corceiro who has had athlete partners, such as Lando Norris or Joao Félix, and who was very kind to a Blockx overwhelmed by the situation.
