Spain’s young tennis star Carlos Alcaraz has reportedly withdrawn from the Davis Cup and has decided to take a break from tennis. The
21-year-old is already regarded as one of the best players currently playing in
men’s tennis in the singles category, along with Italy’s Jannik Sinner and
Serbia’s Novak Djokovic.
Alcaraz has recently been seen representing his country in the Davis Cup. He played a crucial role in helping Spain overcome France and book
their place in the last eight; however, as per the latest report from Daily
Express, which quoted Spanish media outlet Marca, the current world number
three has decided to withdraw from the competition and take a break from
professional tennis.

It is not confirmed whether the Spaniard will return for the
remaining matches for Spain in the Davis Cup. After winning his most recent
fixture against Ugo Humbert, the youngster admitted having difficulty dealing with the expectations.
"There are times when I smile because I force myself to
smile even if I don't feel like it, he said. “Sometimes it works and changes
the dynamic, and other times it doesn't. At the US Open I forced myself to
smile, but it didn't click. This week has helped me both mentally and
tennis-wise, I've realized many things."
Alcaraz has had a fabulous time on the court this season. The
former world number one has won two out of four Grand Slams. He first lifted
the French Open after beating current world number two Germany’s Alexander
Zverev in the final in a five-set thriller with a score of 6–3, 2–6, 5–7, 6–1,
6–2. Alcaraz then lifted the Wimbledon title after beating Djokovic in the
final in straight sets with a score of 6-2, 6-2, 7-6. That’s not it, as the current world number three also won a silver medal at the Paris Olympics. He lost in the final
of the singles category event to Djokovic in straight sets with a score of 7-6,
7-6.

- Players need to STOP TRYING TO JUSTIFY THEIR INCLUSION! They are not ambassadors for women in Saudi Arabia, they are not politicians, and they will never make a difference for females in that 'culture'. This little tennis "tournament" changes nothing. Players were lured by the money, opted to participate, and should just keep their predictable excuses and Women's Freedom Fairy Tales to themselves. Period.
