Tennis star Carlos Alcaraz broke down in tears after his crushing defeat against Holger Rune in the Barcelona Open 2025 final on April 20, 2025. The Spain-born star showcased his dominance on the clay courts but failed in the title clash against the Denmark star.Β
Notably, Carlos Alcaraz took a 2-1 lead in the second set of the game, but he asked for a medical timeout with his leg problem, and thereafter he failed to turn the game, leaving the crowd worried about his fitness.
Just after the game, one of the fans shared a video of the star player on Twitter, where he was seen bursting into tears following his loss. The fans were sympathetic towards him after watching the video, which has been widely shared on social media. The video showcases Alcaraz sitting in the corner with his teary eyes.
The tennis world has understood that this tear didn't just come from his final loss, but he missed the chance to win his third ATP title of the year. The four-time Grand Slam winner won the ABN AMRO Open 2025 and the Monte Carlo Masters tournament earlier this year. In addition, the 21-year-old star player must be aiming to topple Jannik Sinner to become the new world number one, but his hopes were shattered after he lost the game.
