Carlos Alcaraz posted a nice message on Instagram congratulating Roger Federer for his incredible career. Carlito wrote: “Roger has been one of my idols and a source of inspiration! 🥲 Thank you for everything you have done for our sport! ❤️ I still want to play with you! 🥹 Wish you all the luck in the world for what comes next! 💪🏻 @rogerfederer.”
While Roger could not reply to all the nice messages he received on the occasion of his announcement of an imminent retirement. Nevertheless, I could not miss replying to the new world number 1 with this message:
“Thanks for your kind words. Enjoying watching your rise. Congrats on the Open Carlitos.”
