Hey, tennis fans It’s your girl Mia Johnson-Carter from Miami, and I’m super excited to share this latest scoop in the world of tennis. You know how much we love our tennis here in Miami, and today, I’m talking about two of the biggest names in the sport right now: Casper Ruud and Carlos Alcaraz.
Casper Ruud’s Praise for Carlos Alcaraz
Recently, Casper Ruud, the Norwegian tennis star, shared some amazing words about his fellow player, Carlos Alcaraz. At the Laver Cup, Ruud, who is representing Team Europe alongside Alcaraz, couldn’t stop raving about Alcaraz’s talent. Here’s what he had to say:
“I can only say good things about Carlos. He is a fantastic man. What he does is incredible. Having a young guy like him is great news for tennis. He is capable of doing incredible things on the court; he has a talent rarely seen in this sport, and I have a lot of admiration for him because what he does is spectacular.”
This isn’t the first time these two have made headlines together. Their most memorable encounter came at the 2022 US Open final, where Alcaraz won in four sets to claim his first Grand Slam title. It’s clear that Ruud is a fan and hopes to see more success from Alcaraz in the future.
Carlos Alcaraz’s Recent Performance
Alcaraz has been making waves in the tennis world with his impressive performances. At the Laver Cup, he took on Ben Shelton and won in straight sets (6-4, 6-4). This win tied Team Europe with Team World, and it’s clear that Alcaraz is a force to be reckoned with. Despite having a weaker serve, Alcaraz won 78% of his first serve points, outdoing Shelton’s 66%. He also hit 23 winners, eight more than Shelton.
Alcaraz’s victory was part of an exciting night at the Laver Cup where Frances Tiafoe made a comeback to beat Daniil Medvedev. The teams were level at 4-4 ahead of the Saturday night session in Berlin’s Uber Arena.
