The young tennis star was greeted with a warm and festive welcome at the airport, complete with a lively band and trumpet players.

Expressing his excitement about visiting Puerto Rico, Alcaraz said, “It is very nice to come to a country where Spanish is spoken; it will be nice to hear their support. Every time I play in front of a Latin audience, it is an amazing experience. I am here to have a good time and for people to enjoy.”
Alcaraz’s spontaneous dance moves and his enthusiasm for the local culture added a special touch to his visit, making it a memorable experience for both him and his fans.
