Following his opening win at the 2025 Nitto ATP Finals in Turin, Carlos Alcaraz faced a variety of questions in his post-match press conference — but one stood out for its unexpected charm. Former WTA doubles champion Elena Vesnina, now working with BB Tennis, asked the 22-year-old Spaniard a personal question that sparked laughter in the room.
“Is your heart taken?” Vesnina asked with a smile. Alcaraz, unfazed and amused, responded simply: “I’m free.”
The exchange quickly gained attention on social media, with fans reacting to the tennis star’s candid and relaxed demeanor. Vesnina later shared the moment on X (formerly Twitter), tagging BB Tennis and adding to the buzz around the young champion.
