Carlos Alcaraz and Grigor Dimitrov's Laver Cup bromance—Is this the best duo we've seen in years?

The Laver Cup throws some interesting combinations that are a treat to watch for the fans. Take the example of the 2022 edition of this tournament where two great rivals, Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal teamed up to play doubles together. However, on this occasion, things took a rather hilarious turn after Carlos Alcaraz and Grigor Dimitrov were caught in an unexpected position. As a result, the fans couldn’t control their laughter and took to social media to send in hilarious reactions.

On Day 2 of the Laver Cup in Berlin, Daniil Medvedev began the proceedings for Team Europe. Meanwhile, Alcaraz and Dimitrov were on the sidelines, cheering for him. The two were seated alongside each other when the camera spotted Alcaraz falling in Dimitrov’s arms. It sparked wild reactions online and even the stadium burst into laughter after Alcaraz’s and Dimitrov’s visible bromance. The two shared a tight hug soon after as the moment went viral on social media.

Before Alcaraz and Dimitrov’s bromance, there were several examples of bromance at the Laver Cup. The memories flashed back to 2022 when Rafael Nadal got emotional sitting beside Roger Federer, as the latter played the final match of his career. However, for a section of fans, there was nothing quite like Alcaraz and Dimitrov’s tight hug today. Reacting to this picture, one fan said, “Hahahaha this is another level of bromance.” Further, some fans even imagined themselves in the positions of Dimitrov and Alcaraz. One of the X users hilariously questioned, “Me and who?” while dreaming about this affection.

Some die-hard fans of tennis though had experienced watching such incidents before. Players often show glimpses of their bromance and mutual admiration for each other while shaking hands at the net after a match. As a result, one of the fans commented, “I love this sport so much.” Another X user compared the situation with a Sci-fi action thriller, Everything Everywhere All at Once, while adoring Dimitrov and Alcaraz’s moment. The comment read, “The mention of everything everywhere all at once I love this sport.”

The picture of Alcaraz and Dimitrov’s apparent bromance also blew the minds of some fans. One fan expressed how ‘crazy’ it was to witness two rivals sharing such a bond. It is interesting how sport can quickly turn the bonding between two players. While they fight it out on the court during the ATP Tour, the players bond together well during tournaments like the Laver Cup.
