Being a professional tennis player could be one of the most beautiful feelings in the world for any player. The amount of love that you get from your fans could be immense. However, with love comes hate as well and for some, it can be devastating. The same thing happened with two Spanish greats Carlos Alcaraz and Rafael Nadal.

While Nadal played his final event in the Madrid Open of his career, Alcaraz, not in the best of forms came into the event to prove his prowess on clay. However, Nadal crashed out of the event in the round of 16. On the other hand, Carlos Alcaraz could only progress one round further and had to bow out of the event in the quarter-finals against Andrey Rublev.

But, as it seems, some fans were clearly not happy with the two Spaniard’s performance at the event. As a result, a wall painting of both Nadal and Alcaraz was brutally destroyed by fire. This clearly indicated the anger that the fans had in their mind. The photo, which was shared on social media platforms showed the disappointment that the fans had.

Thus, as it seems, the fans were clearly not happy with both Rafael Nadal and Carlos Alcaraz’s performance at the event. They eventually vented out their frustration by burning out the wall painting to show their disappointment. While these fans seemed frustrated, many came together to salute both the players’ performance at the event.
