Racket to the backpack: Alcaraz’s rage in his defeat against Zverev

Once again Carlos Alcaraz lets himself be carried away by rage on the tennis court. The Spanish tennis player, who succumbed to Zverev in the Masters Cup and was eliminated from the tournament, hit his backpack hard at a moment of maximum stress during the match.

It was a decisive point in the first set, but Alcaraz’s ball went into the hallway and his reaction was desperate.

The Murcian slammed his racket against his backpack in his rest area in a gesture of frustration. The detail was reminiscent of the previous occasion in which the Spanish player had thrown his racket against the ground several times during the Cincinnatti tournament last August, and for which he apologized.

The Spanish tennis player has fallen to the German Alexander Zverev (7-6(5), 6-4) on the third day of the John Newcombe Group of the ATP Finals, which are being held in Turin (Italy), a result that It leaves Murcia with no options to advance to the semifinals.
