Following his victory in the second round of the 2024 Paris Masters, Carlos Alcaraz performed a signature celebration of soccer player Neymar Jr. The Spaniard put his hands on either side of his head and stuck out his tongue during the celebration.
On Tuesday, Alcaraz defeated Nicolas Jarry 7-5, 6-1 to start his Paris campaign after losing in the Shanghai Masters quarterfinals. Despite taking an early 3-0 lead, the world No. 2 had to earn the first set the hard way. The next set was easy, with Alcaraz eventually winning after seven games.
This time, Alcaraz imitated Neymar Jr., who frequently copies the celebrations of well-known soccer players. After performing the celebration, the Spaniard signed a victory message on the courtside camera.
On the field, Neymar Jr. has demonstrated some memorable celebrations that have greatly inspired many young athletes to imitate them. The celebration that Alcaraz imitated was primarily performed while he was a member of the French team Paris Saint-Germain, and Neymar used it to stir up his critics.
