Carlos Alcaraz talked about his sportsmanship gesture during his match against Ben Shelton. At one point, the Spaniard hit a ball with his racket while it was in the air, something that is not allowed. But neither the chair umpire nor the American player saw it. Nevertheless, Alcaraz admitted that he let go of the racket and gave the point to Shelton in a beautiful display of sportsmanship. "I would have felt guilty if I hadn't said anything. It's about knowing that if I didn't do it right or made a mistake, wrong shots, or an illegal shot, I have to speak up. You know, I have to be honest with myself. I have to be honest with Ben, with everyone. I believe that's how sports should be, or should be fair to the opponent, to yourself. I said it because, like I said, I knew it was an illegal shot. It shouldn't be allowed, so I said it," confessed the defending Roland Garros champion.

Carlos Alcaraz reached the quarterfinals of Roland Garros 2025 after defeating Ben Shelton (7-6(8), 6-3, 4-6, 6-4). And these were his first words at the end of the match on Eurosport's microphones: "We respect each other a lot every time we play, we try to entertain the audience. Both of us played a very complete match. For me, it's incredible to have Shelton on the circuit for the energy he always brings on the court. But it was also a very tough match, I fought against myself, I was angry with myself, and I'm very happy that those negative thoughts couldn't overcome me in the tough moments."

Carlos Alcaraz has shown on several occasions to have a spirit of fair play and spectacular sportsmanship, but what he did in the first game of the second set during his match against Ben Shelton in the 2025 Roland Garros round of 16, reaches a higher level. The Spaniard rushed to volley a ball that was difficult on his backhand side and had the reflex to release the racket. The ball went in, and the point was his, but at that same moment, he was heading towards the chair umpire to tell him that the impact of his racket with the ball occurred after he had released the racket, something not allowed in the rules. Shelton couldn't believe it.
