20-Year-Old Spanish Tennis Ace Throws a Challenge to His F1 Idol After Achieving Rare French Open Feat

Carlos Alcaraz, the world’s youngest world number one, is performing admirably in the French Open. With his high-intensity game, form, and winning streak on the tennis circuit, he has become unbeatable. The 20-year-old tennis player recently overcame Denis Shapovalov in the third round of the clay court tournament. Along with his incredible run to the fourth round, the tennis star has also won his 33rd consecutive match of the season. However, he is not the only athlete to have accomplished this amazing achievement. In fact, another sportsperson fresh off the F1 racecourse is on pace to match the tennis star’s streak of triumphs.

After winning his 33rd match in a row, the world number one tennis player used the opportunity to hype his fellow Spaniard, Fernando Alonso, who is going to compete in the Spanish Grand Prix, where he has the chance to win his 33rd race. 

Carlos Alcaraz poses a challenge for his fellow Spanish F1 player 

The 20-year-old Spanish tennis player recently took to his Twitter account to encourage his compatriot to share a peculiar record with him. Recently, Alcaraz jokingly asked Alonso whether he could match his figures. 

The 2022 US Open champion took to his Twitter account to post the huge question. He quote tweeted a post by the Twitter handle ATP Media Info about his winning streak on the ATP tour. He shared the post and tagged the F1 racer, while tweeting, “Repeat that number??? (translated by Google)” 

Alonso’s 32nd victory came in 2013 at the Spanish GP while he was racing for Ferrari. And after that, for a brief period of time, the F1 racer was out of action from the Grand Prix. However, this is not the first time when Alcaraz hyped the 41-year-old F1 legend for his 33rd race win.

When Alcaraz gave a similar shout-out to Alonso 

A few months ago, when the 20-year-old Spaniard was participating in the Miami Open,  he made a similar shoutout to inspire the F1 racer to go for his 33rd triumph. After winning the match against Tommy Paul, the Spanish tennis sensation rushed to the on-court camera and wrote, “33? soon”.

Come on!!!” And now, as the 41-year-old racer is all prepared to participate in the Spanish GP, he has a strong chance of completing Alcaraz’s wish.
