Carlos Alcaraz set for busy late season after named in Spain lineup for Davis Cup

Spain’s young tennis star Carlos Alcaraz is set for a busy schedule after being named in the Davis Cup lineup for Spain. The 21-year-old is already regarded as one of the best players currently playing in the men’s singles category, along with Italy’s Jannik Sinner and Serbia’s Novak Djokovic.

After being named in Spain's lineup for the Davis Cup, Alcaraz is set to have a busy schedule in the later stages of the season. The team will also consist of Roberto Bautista Agut, Pablo Carreno Busta and Marcel Granollers. Interestingly, the scheduled Davis Cup tie is set to take place a week after the US Open. That’s not it as Alcaraz will also feature in the Laver Cup which means that he is set to have very little rest in the later stages of the season.

Alcaraz is going through an impressive season. The current world number three is set to play in the final at Wimbledon on Sunday, where he will face Serbia’s legendary tennis star Novak Djokovic. The Spaniard booked his place in the grand finale after beating Russia’s Daniil Medvedev in the semifinal with a score of 6-7, 6-3, 6-4, 6-4. On the other hand, his opponent Djokovic booked his spot in the final after beating Italy’s Lorenzo Musetti in straight sets with a score of 6-4, 7-6, 6-4.

The final on Sunday will be a rematch of last year’s final at Wimbledon. In that contest, Alcaraz came out on top in a five-set thrilling contest with a score of 1–6, 7–6(8–6), 6–1, 3–6, 6–4. If the Spaniard wins on Sunday, it will be his fourth Grand Slam and second this season. He lifted the French Open for the first time in his career after beating Germany’s Alexander Zverev in a five-set thrilling contest with a score of 6–3, 2–6, 5–7, 6–1, 6–2.
