Men’s tennis continues to experience the emergence of new exhibition tournaments that promise to change the current panorama. However, few will have the impact generated by the Laver Cup in its year of birth, a global event that has earned its place within the circuit… and in which Carlos Alcaraz will make his debut in 2024.
The last Making Cup left a somewhat bitter feeling in its organizers, among whom is Roger Federer. The victory of Team World about him Team Europe It was overwhelming, the absence of the main stars of the circuit caused a decrease in expectation and media impact and, ultimately, it gave the impression that the magic that existed at the beginning, in that Prague edition in which Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal stole the show, seemed to have been at least partially lost. The bosses of this event knew that they had to make a splash… and it came very soon, at the beginning of 2024: the signing of Carlos Alcaraz ahead of this season’s edition, which will be held in Berlin on September 20, 21 and 22.
Many remembered Carlos’ commitment to Laver after the creation of the company. ‘6 Kings Cup’the exhibition event of Saudi Arabia which includes El Palmar in its select squad. As if it were a response, the official Laver account was quick to share a video of Carlitos in which he explains his great memories about this competitionmemories that contextualize and serve as reasons why he has decided to embark on a new adventure, debuting for the first time in the team competition.
“I remember when Kyrgios was like that (imitates the ‘goalkeeper’ gesture that the Australian made in an edition), it was quite strange, but I found it very funny. I love it when players become coaches., talking to his own teammates in the middle of the games. I remember when Rafa and Roger did this with Fognini, it was great. Seeing that part is fantastic, both for the players themselves and for the spectators. “Playing together on the same side of the court, sharing moments outside that we normally don’t have the chance to share… it’s great.”. The man from El Palmar, who will be in charge of leading the European team, stated with a smile. The objective? Cristalino: end the recent dominance of Team World, victorious in the last two editions, and recover the hegemony of a European team that seemed invincible in the first editions.

A CALENDAR FULL OF EVENTS
As we mentioned before, there are some truly busy months ahead for the Murcian. With the presence of the Olympic Games On the 2024 calendar, the summer is expected to be busier than ever: if he does not miss any of the two Masters 1000 prior to the US Open, he will chain four most demanding events in a very short time (him and all the big names on the circuit: Olympics, Montreal, Cincinnati and New York). It seems, of course, an ideal panorama to rest, enjoy a mini vacation and prepare for a final part of the season that usually gets choked up: however, Carlitos has already confirmed his presence at this Laver (in mid-September) and at the event in Saudi Arabia, with a date yet to be decided in October. A calendar that, despite its distance, can already be sensed truly loaded.
