Carlos Alcaraz, one of the best tennis players today, met Juan Martín del Potro in the middle of the Madrid Tournament and did not hesitate to approach the Argentine and show him all his admiration.
La Torre de Tandil was in the hallways of the tournament taking photos with the fans when the world number 3 appeared and was shocked to see the Argentine. It was at that moment that he stopped and approached to greet him.

They both gave each other a very affectionate hug and chatted briefly. This happened minutes before the match between Alcaraz and the Brazilian Thiago Seyboth Wild, which ended with victory for the Spaniard.

The Argentine has a weakness for the Spanish and every time they see each other there is a nice moment between them.
“Carlitos [Alcaraz] I love it. He has a freshness when walking around the court that makes him look like a 30-year-old guy, and with 10 on the circuit. He is going to do very well in tennis. With Sinner he is going to create a rivalry that tennis constantly had. First it was Agassi-Sampras, then Rafa-Roger, now it will be the two of them,” said the Argentine in dialogue with the ATP.
The future of Juan Martín del Potro
For his part, Delpo spoke with the official ATP website and said that he is starting to go to some tournaments after his retirement from tennis matures.
“My retirement was a decision made by my body, something forced and not something prepared or worked on with a psychologist and a team,” Delpo explained this Sunday during his visit to the Mutua Madrid Open. “I’m just now coming to events and feeling good. At first it was difficult for me and I wanted to do my obligations and leave. But in Miami I had an event and then I stayed to see Carlitos [Alcaraz] and I enjoyed it,” said the Argentine.

The Argentine, who played his last professional match in Buenos Aires 2022 against Federico Delbonis, tried unsuccessfully to return to competition in 2023. But he already seems to have reconciled with the fact of having left tennis. In fact, he does not rule out a farewell match, pending for most of his fans. “There are some rumors, but I want to do it in good conditions,” he explains.
On the other hand, he pointed out that he does not think about a future as a coach: “I am not sure if I will be a coach. I enjoy being at home more, not having the obligation of routine and responding to certain things like trips. I like more to be around young people and transmit things that I learned to the younger ones. I’m finding myself more comfortable in this position, but that’s now, in the next few years maybe everything will change a little, or some player wants something else and I’ll think about it.”
