Carlos Alcaraz is one of the most interesting prospects in tennis with fantastic sportsmanship. On Friday, the 18-year-old impressed during the Miami Open semifinal against Hubert Hurkacz.
The Polish player was chasing a drop shot when the chair umpire wrongly called a “not-up” (ie. the ball bounced twice). However, that was a mistake and the umpire seemed to have no intention to reverse his call. Carlito conceded to replay the point even if he would have won the point rather easily. Indeed, these are the things we like to see.
Things you love to see 👏
