WATCH: Tennis star Carlos Alcaraz reveals his favourite Tennis player ahead of French Open 2024

Tennis star Carlos Alcaraz has been known as one of the most prominent tennis faces for some of the biggest brands in the world. The star player has recently missed the Rome Masters due to some of the grave injuries he sustained a few weeks ago. However, the young player has arrived at the French Open 2024 and he will be looking to win the title as the marquee events are set to take place on May 26 in Paris.

However, the Spanish star was recently asked about his favourite tennis player, and he has named Rafael Nadal as his idol. Notably, the Spaniard suffered an early exit from the Italian Open 2024; however, he is set to play his opening draw against Zverev in the French Open 2024. The 21-year-old reveals his confessed desire to play against Nadal and how special it is for him to play against the 14-time French Open winner.

"Right now, Rafa is my idol, favourite player, favourite everything. Obviously, playing with Rafa always has an impact, no matter where, in what tournament or in what situation, for the legend that he is in our sport. But it is certain that what he gives off when he is at Roland Garros makes you respect him even more. If I play against him, I would try to take it as any other match," Carlos Alcaraz says.

The two-time Grand Slam winner also talked about how the fans have treated Rafael Nadal in the French Open 2024 event. In addition, Alcaraz's response to Nadal has been loved by the fans.

"Yes, I've seen some videos on social media. It is normal for what the tournament means to him. It takes two years without playing it. People are looking forward to Rafa and the reception was what he deserves, it even could have been much more. La Chatrier is an incredible, wonderful court and I hope one day I can play a final there," he added further.
