Carlos Alcaraz is currently in Rome, where he has won many supporters with his incredible results. However, there are some Italian fans who do not like the Spanish sensation because they see him as a huge rival to home favorite Jannik Sinner.
There was a rather curious episode on the occasion of Carlos Alcaraz’s training when the world no.2 was badly insulted by a local fan who called him “Pezzo di Merda,” which translates as “Piece of shit.”
Carlitos was great in his reaction. He was not upset, but he was just laughing at what has happened. This is the video.
