Carlos Alcaraz was called out by tennis commentator Craigh Shapiro for celebrating heavily when he was up a lot against Bagnis finding it disrespectful.
Carlos Alcaraz is a fierce competitor but his competitive spirit wasn't particularly appreciated by Craig Shapiro in this very specific instance. Alcaraz was battling Facundo Bagnis and he was destroying him on the court taking the first set 6-0. He went up 2-0 in the second set and was heavily celebrating points which Shapiro found inappropriate considering the score.
He voiced his thoughts on social media:
"So odd, Carlitos fist pumping and Vamosing like a madman up 6-0 2-0. Unnecessary. Bad form."
When questioned about it, Shapiro added:
"I enjoy a properly timed fistpump. The fist pumping at 8-0 is out of control and inappropriate."
