Days Before Starting US Open Title Defense, Carlos Alcaraz Set to Team Up With Miami Heat Icon Jimmy Butler and Singer Sebastian Yatra for Treating Fans to Something Special

Spanish tennis sensation, Carlos Alcaraz has been a force to reckon with ever since winning his maiden Grand Slam title. Last year, he stunned the tennis world by clinching the US Open, the biggest win of his career at the age of just 19. Fast forward now, the Spaniard has already added another Grand Slam title, the Wimbledon Championships to his trophy cabinet. Additionally, he is all set to defend his US Open crown in the tournament beginning next week. However, before that, he is set to surprise fans alongside two superstars.

Alcaraz is the top seed in New York and one of the favorites to win the title this year, alongside the likes of Novak Djokovic and Daniil Medvedev. His fans have yet another reason to cheer before the tournament.
