Carlos
Alcaraz has been honored with a nativity figurine, joining the ranks of Roger
Federer,
Novak Djokovic, Messi, and Ronaldo after his triumph at
Wimbledon.
The young
star achieved his second Grand Slam victory just a week ago by defeating the
7-time Wimbledon champion, Novak Djokovic, on the Centre Court of the All
England Club, where 'Nole' had not lost since 2013.
The accomplishment
of
Carlos Alcaraz has been widely recognized, and now he will be immortalized
in the form of a Caganer. The Caganer is a figurine from Catalan culture
depicting characters in the act of defecating. The 20-year-old tennis player
was portrayed in the figurine wearing the outfit he used in the Wimbledon
final.
Caganer
figurines include important figures from the world of entertainment, music,
popular culture, and sports. Only athletes of great historical significance
have been included, such as Djokovic with his Wimbledon victory,
Rafael Nadal
at the French Open, Cristiano Ronaldo with Ballon d'Or trophies, and Messi with
the World Cup and the Argentina jersey.
A
representative from the 'Caganer' brand commented that the Alcaraz figurine had
been requested by many fans and sees the world No. 1 as the successor to Nadal.
This recognition further highlights the impact and admiration Alcaraz has
garnered in the world of tennis and beyond.
"Years
ago, it was Rafael Nadal who was the most talented tennis player, and what he
achieved is something incredible. Now, Alcaraz still has all his career ahead
of him. His talent makes you believe that he will be able to win many titles
and have many victories."
Carlos
Alcaraz is set to participate in the Masters 1000 Canadian Open, starting on
August 7th, as the top seed. The tournament is a crucial part of his
preparation for the
US Open, where 'Carlitos' is the reigning champion.
Currently, Alcaraz has a slight difference in ATP points compared to Djokovic,
making the upcoming tournaments crucial in determining the world No. 1 ranking.
