Carlitos will travel to New York this Monday and on Tuesday he plans to take the day off to play golf, something that helps him relax. He already opted for it before the tournaments in Toronto and Cincinnati.
Alcaraz lands in the city of skyscrapers as the best tennis player on the planet and current champion of the last ‘major’. That means a busy schedule. His first training session on the slopes at Flushing Meadows will be on Wednesday, August 23. and will since then have five days before the start of the contest. On that same date, he will play an exhibition for Ukraine with Frances Tiafoe, Matteo Berrettini or Elina Svitolina, among others.
The fun proposal that Alcaraz has made to Yatra for the US Open
On Thursday 24 he will meet his rivals at the top of the table. Djokovic will circulate in the lower part and they could only meet in a hypothetical final.
A day later he will attend the concert of the Colombian singer Sebastián Yatra, in which he has promised to sing, and a day later he will be the star of children’s day in the last big one. The tennis duel between the Murcian and Yatra, who was preparing in Mallorca with the help of Rafael Nadal, is expected.
