Carlos Alcaraz, the young Spanish tennis player who has made his mark on the tour, didn’t hold back his words after receiving harsh criticism following his defeat in Miami. In a recent exchange with the media, Alcaraz responded forcefully to those who had attacked him for his off-court decisions.

After being criticized by his detractors, who reproached him for “hating him when he loses in Miami,” Alcaraz stood firm, making it clear that his life outside of tennis is also important. “I truly love my fans, but I have nothing for the fake ones,” he declared defiantly, making it clear that he has no time for those who only want to see him fall.

The comments attacking him referred to his decision to rest instead of training intensively after the defeat in Miami. “I got a lot of hate for not training, for going to Cancún to rest with my family,” the young tennis player explained. “Some people told me: ‘If you lost, why aren’t you going to train to get stronger?’ But the reality is that was my choice and that’s how I live my life.”

Alcaraz also emphasized the importance of taking breaks. “Exactly, that’s the key: having five or six days of rest, without having to pick up the racquet, without having to get on the training court. Traveling helped me regain my joy and enjoy competing again,” he said.

With a firm and clear attitude, Alcaraz concluded his statement by saying: “When I do it again, let it be clear: no one should tell another how to live their life or what to do in their free time.”

Alcaraz’s response left a strong impression on the media and fans, demonstrating that the young tennis player is not only a talented player on the court, but also a person with clear convictions about how he should live his life. Alcaraz continues to be an example of how authenticity and self-confidence can make a difference, both on and off the court.
