Miami Open 2022: Carlos Alcaraz, an example of sportsmanship: the gesture that the entire tennis world applauds

Carlos Alcaraz has become the fashionable name in the world of tennis. And not just for his sports merits, with which everyone is being amazed by its quality and earliness. The Murcian seems to go against the current and that’s all an example of sportsmanship in a time when every day the protests and the more than angry reactions of some colleague are news of the circuit.

The young tennis talent once again gave a sample of what ‘fair play’ is in his match against the Pole Hubert Hurkacz with a gesture that was applauded by the entire public present on the track and also by his rivalwho appreciated the gesture that Juan Carlos Ferrero’s pupil had with him.

With 5-6 on the scoreboard of the first set and with 30-0 In favor with his service, Alcaraz showed that not even the tension of the moment is above sportsmanship. Hurkacz returned a ball into the net and the referee, just a second later, called the point for Alcaraz when he understood that the Polish tennis player had not avoided the double boat of the ball 40-0 for the Spanish.

Or at least it was for a few seconds. The time it took Alcaraz in reacting and correcting the referee’s decision, admitting that the Pole had returned the ball correctly and approved the repetition of the point. A gesture that honors him and that earned him the recognition of everyone on the track.
