Carlos Alcaraz is sponsored by Babolat but they left him red faced as he was pranked on April Fools Day while taking part in a racquet challenge from the brand. Currently using the Pure Aero VS tennis racquet, he is known as one of their top ambassadors.
He signed a contract extension until 2030 and with Rafael Nadal also part of the brand will likely be the one to take them forward into the coming years and for the rest of his career. But his view of them might have changed hilariously.
He was asked to hit tennis balls over the roof of a house until one of them landed on the other end being an open basket on a tennis court. He was given three tennis balls and missed all three. Given his fourth he hit the mark or so he thought as he was told he was only for him to have his doubts. "No way, no way. I have to see the video," said Alcaraz.
Before saying he was hurt when he saw the footage. "You have hurt my feelings. It was so obvious. You all guys. But it was close. At least that's something."
