During a funny practice session in Shanghai, Carlos Alcaraz and his coach Juan Carlos Ferrero delighted the spectators by putting their bodies on the line.
Alcaraz worked out with his brother Alvaro and coach Ferrero before his Shanghai Masters match against Daniel Evans in the third round. The coaching session, however, quickly became funny as the student-coach team applauded hits coming their way while remaining still.
While Ferrero was bold enough to show even the sensitive parts of his body, Alcaraz chose to protect them by placing his racket in front. Every time the ball was aimed at them, the 20-year-old screamed excitedly. As seen in the video down below, he took one in the elbow.
