Tennis stars
Carlos Alcaraz,
Novak Djokovic,
Aryna Sabalenka,
Andrey Rublev, among others, reacted to old photos of themselves.
In a Tennis Channel activity, the tennis players sat on a rubber chair to react to some old photos of themselves. In the case of Carlos Alcaraz, there was a picture of him with his former coach when the Spanish player was starting to play tennis:
"I’m in probably one of my first trophies, it was a tennis school club at the beginning of the summer. It was my coach at the time at that time, so probably it was 2007… something like that," said Alcaraz.
World No. 2 Aryna Sabalenka had a photo of herself with her parents on a vacation trip:
"It’s so beautiful. I think I was around seven (years old) and I think we were in Turkey having our vacation. That’s where everything started, like thinking about getting tattooed," Sabalenka said after seeing her picture with her parents.
Andrey Rublev also saw an old picture of himself playing tennis on a clay court with the exact same outfit that Rafael Nadal was wearing during that time, in green tones. According to the Russian player, Rafa was his ultimate idol at that moment:
"This was back in the days when my idol was Rafa (Nadal) and I was playing a tournament in Moscow, and it was one of the matches. I don’t remember if the shoes are the same, this I don’t remember, but the rest is everything, even the racket," said Rublev about his picture with the same clothes as Rafael Nadal.
23-time Grand Slam champion Djokovic also reacted to a picture with his wife from about 10 years ago:
"Ok, ok, who is this handsome lady with this guy… what is she doing with this guy? This was a photoshoot, it was very enjoyable, I didn’t look so bad. It was still the first few years of our relationship, so yeah, I was trying to win her over I guess, charm her," Djokovic said with the picture of him and his wife, Jelena Djokovic.
