"Very shocked by the terrible news": Alcaraz sends message amid Murcia tragedy

Carlos Alcaraz sent a message of support to the families in Murcia after a serious fire left 13 dead in a nightclub.
A tragic incident shook Spain early Sunday morning when a fire in three nightclub venues in Murcia resulted in the deaths of at least 13 people and left four others injured. Spanish authorities have deemed it the deadliest fire in the country since the 1990s.
This news has made headlines around the world, and Carlos Alcaraz, a two-time Grand Slam champion, reacted from China, where he is currently competing in the ATP 500 Beijing Open. Alcaraz hails from El Palmar, a significant town in Murcia, and he expressed his support for his city and the affected individuals.
“Very shocked by the terrible news coming from Murcia after the fire in several nightclubs this past morning... My condolences to the families of the deceased and a huge hug to all those affected 🙏🏻💔,” Alcaraz wrote on X (former Twitter).
The 20-year-old tennis sensation continues to compete in Beijing, maintaining the impressive form he has shown this year. In his first two matches, he defeated Yannick Hanfmann (6-4, 6-3) and sailed past Lorenzo Musetti (6-2, 6-2) to reach the quarterfinals.
This time, he will face the 7th seed, Casper Ruud (world No. 9). This matchup is a rematch of the 2022 US Open final, where Alcaraz secured his first Grand Slam victory by defeating the Norwegian.

The rivalry between the two has seen three previous encounters, all ending in victory for Carlos Alcaraz, with their most recent meeting taking place in the final at Flushing Meadows.
Although Ruud is going through a somewhat inconsistent phase, he managed to defeat two strong opponents in the early rounds, first Jan-Lennard Struff (22nd) and then Tomas Etcheverry (31st) in the decisive third-set tie-break.
