Carlos Alcaraz, the reigning Wimbledon champion, added a touch of football flair to his tennis victory. After a grueling five-set match against close friend Frances Tiafoe, Alcaraz celebrated in style by imitating England Euro 2024 star Jude Bellingham’s iconic goal celebration.
As he walked around Centre Court, Alcaraz spread his arms wide, paying homage to Bellingham, who plays for Real Madrid. The 21-year-old Spaniard expressed “huge respect” for Bellingham, who recently scored a spectacular overhead winner for England in the Euro 2024 tournament.
This isn’t the first time Alcaraz has borrowed Bellingham’s celebration. Last year, during the US Open, he posted a picture captioned “Hey, Jude,” replicating the same move.
Alcaraz’s cheeky tribute highlights the camaraderie between sports stars and adds a fun twist to the tennis world. As he progresses to the fourth round at Wimbledon, fans can expect more exciting moments from this rising talent.
