Carlos Alcaraz and team sent into panic after worrying error hours before Djokovic tie

Carlos Alcaraz’s Pre-Match Antics Cause Panic Ahead of Djokovic Showdown

1. Carlos Alcaraz, the world No. 3, is gearing up to face Novak Djokovic in the Australian Open quarter-finals. However, the 21-year-old Spaniard’s pre-match routine took an unexpected turn, leaving his team in a state of panic.

The Incident

Alcaraz, known for his unconventional pre-match games, was playing a makeshift game in the stretching area when he accidentally broke something. The exact nature of the damage is unclear, but the reaction from his team was telling.

Team’s Reaction

Alcaraz’s family, coaching staff, and team members were left aghast, covering their faces with their hands. Even a security guard watching from the doorway couldn’t help but chuckle at the commotion. The only calm presence was Alcaraz’s coach, Juan Carlos Ferrero.

Added Stress Before Djokovic Match

The incident is the last thing Alcaraz needed before his highly anticipated match against Djokovic. The two have a history, with Djokovic edging out Alcaraz in a heartbreaker at the Olympics. Alcaraz has since bounced back, winning their last two Grand Slam meetings.

Alcaraz’s Mindset

Ahead of the match, Alcaraz acknowledged that he must block out Djokovic’s impressive achievements on the court. “If I think about everything he has done in tennis, I couldn’t play,” he said. Instead, Alcaraz is focusing on his own strengths and past victories against Djokovic.

The Stage is Set

The quarter-final match between Alcaraz and Djokovic promises to be an exciting encounter. Will Alcaraz’s unconventional pre-match routine prove to be a blessing or a curse? Only time will tell.
