(VIDEO) "Who would you choose for romantic advice?": Carlos Alcaraz answers quickfire questions from former pro Elena Vesnina

Carlos Alcaraz was recently asked some quick fire questions by former doubles pro Elena Vesnina and it was very simple, he had to pick a player from the tournament in a series of everyday challenges.
E.g who he would ask for romantic advice, who he would go to dinner with in what was a pretty intriguing insight. As well as those he was asked who he would ask for an Instagram photo.
As well as choose an outfit for an important event and who to handle difficult situations.
Journalist: "Which player would you go to dinner with?"
Alcaraz: "Ben Shelton."
Journalist: "Who would you trust to park your car?"
Alcaraz: "I'd say Jannik Sinner."
Journalist: "Who would you choose for romantic advice?"
Alcaraz: "Alex de Minaur, I think he'd be good."
Journalist: "For an Instagram photo?"
Alcaraz: "Taylor Fritz or Ben Shelton."
Journalist: "To choose an outfit for an important event?"
Alcaraz: "Probably Zverev."
Journalist: "Finally, to handle difficult situations?"
Alcaraz: "Novak!"
Vesnina famously asked Alcaraz in a press conference if he was single recently and has become a journalist as of late after curtailing her career. Alcaraz is at home recuperating now after a muscle edema derailed his chances of playing Davis Cup Finals. Spain are currently playing Germany in the semi-finals of the Davis Cup but he is only watching on from home.
He had his trophies hilariously on an Ikea shelf which drew humour from fans who joked about him having such famous trophies on a rickety shelf as he kicked back and relaxed.

- Great article! I began cheering for the “real” doubles specialists at the beginning but once they all lost their respective matches I really didn’t care who actually won the whole tournament. I liked the last four teams in the semifinals and would have enjoyed seeing any of them win the trophy! Not sure it really feels like a TRUE Grand Slam win however (and I know history will say it is!). Happy for Muchova/Mensik. Karolina is now a Grand Slam winner.DaveyWavey27-08-2026

- All the men dropping like flies. Something’s gotta be done with the tournament calendar or many more players will be on the sidelines in the near future. Surprised Carlos is back as soon as he is. Get well soon Sinner, Draper, Fokina, Rune, etc. etc. etc……DaveyWavey25-08-2026
- I want Pegula to surprise as a one-slam wonder winning in New York. She would then jump over the other three ladies for a number one ranking! I’d put my money on the two American girlies, Jessica and Coco to win in New York. Rybakina cannot seem to perform under this kind of pressure and Sabalenka appears in an anger fog ATM.DaveyWavey24-08-2026
- Well said, Andy. I got sick of Nick carrying on and on and on about Sinner. He absolutely refused to look at the facts. Now look at him. Karma is real!!!Rapunzel23-08-2026
