(VIDEO) Carlos Alcaraz gets unexpected marriage proposal during ATP Finals

Spain’s Carlos Alcaraz gets a marriage proposal during his stay in Turin. The 21-year-old, who is already regarded as one of the best players currently playing in men’s tennis in the singles category, is currently in Turin to participate in the ongoing ATP Finals.

The last major event in the men’s tennis calendar is underway, where the top eight players are playing to secure the ultimate prize. In a video that was shared by a user on the social media platform X — previously known as Twitter — Alcaraz gets a marriage proposal from a girl which made him laugh. The girl ended up sharing a selfie with the young Spaniard as well.

The world number three had a tough beginning to his campaign as he suffered a surprising defeat to Norway’s Casper Ruud in straight sets with a score of 6-1, 5-7. However, he managed to keep himself alive in the competition after beating Russia’s Andrey Rublev in the second match in straight sets with a score of 6-3, 7-6.

Alcaraz will now face Germany’s Alexander Zverev in the last match of the group stage on Friday. The world number two is in a very strong position to book his place in the semifinal after winning his first two matches. He defeated Rublev in his tournament opener with a score of 6-4, 6-4. Then he got the better of Ruud as well in straight sets with a score of 7-6, 6-3. This will be the 11th meeting between the two in professional tennis. In the previous 10 meetings, both players ended up winning on five occasions each. The most recent meeting between the two came earlier this year in the final of the French Open. In that contest, it was Alcaraz who eventually came out on top in a five-set thriller with a score of 6–3, 2–6, 5–7, 6–1, 6–2.
