Carlos Alcaraz had trained with almost all the members of the ‘top10’, including his idolized Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic, his great rival..
He repeated with Djokovic this Sunday on the eve of the start of the Paris-Bercy Masters 1000 where they will meet again in a draw for the first time since the US Open. They had already trained together in the 2022 edition of the Mutua Madrid Open and later at Roland Garros.
The practice, which ended with a tie break that Djokovic won 7-3has been extended for an hour and has ended with the two tennis players taking a photograph to immortalize a moment that is historic. Carlos Gómez Herrera, the Marbella coach of the 24-time champion, was also asked for a photo.
Djokovic and Alcaraz, who circulate in different parts of the draw, faces could only be seen in a hypothetical final. The two tennis players fight to end the year with world number one.
‘Nole’ has an income of 500 points compared to the El Palmar tennis player. Carlitos only needs to have mathematical options after the Bercy final to leave the French capital as leader of the ATP.
It is worth remembering that the two racket giants have met on four occasions, with a tie of two victories. To find the last precedent between the two you have to go back to the TMS final in Cincinnati. Alcaraz is accompanied in the French capital by his coach Juan Carlos Ferrero and his physiotherapist Juanjo Moreno.
