If tennis had a frontman, Carlos Alcaraz would be it. The defending French Open champion didn’t just survive a gritty second-round battle against Hungary’s Fabian Marozsan — he conquered it with flair, finesse, and yes, a microphone in hand.
Opening his campaign at Roland-Garros 2025, Alcaraz quickly went from clay-court maestro to crowd-surfing entertainer, belting out a Spanish paso doble tune post-match. Because why not? When you’re Carlos Alcaraz, you win points and hearts in equal measure.
🎾 Alcaraz vs. Marozsan: Not Just a Rematch, a Redemption
Let’s rewind. Two years ago, Marozsan shocked the tennis world by toppling Alcaraz in Rome. This time? The 22-year-old Spaniard wasn’t about to let history repeat itself.
- First set: 6-1. Pure Alcaraz. Explosive forehands, laser-like returns — textbook domination.
- Second set: Marozsan caught fire. Drop shots, angles, aggression — 4-6.
- Third & fourth sets: Alcaraz recalibrated and reloaded, closing it out 6-1, 6-2.
As he said post-match:
“He didn’t miss at all in the second set. I had to refresh myself and just… play better tennis.”
Spoiler: He did. And how.
🎤 When a Champion Sings, Paris Listens
After sealing the win, Alcaraz grabbed the mic like a seasoned crooner. The tune? A fan-favorite chant, performed with gusto and a grin.
“I always wanted to do that,” he admitted. “I hope everyone followed me.”
They did. With claps, laughs, and a chorus of “Olé.” And just like that, Carlos Alcaraz became not just a tennis superstar, but Roland-Garros’ unofficial karaoke king.
💪 Muscles, Mindset & a Fresh Cut
On the court, Alcaraz’s game is part muscular ballet, part strategic chess. Off it? The man flew his personal barber into Paris mid-tournament.
His reason?
“Everybody saw my hair, my beard… I had to do something.”
Whether it’s his topspin or top fade, Alcaraz brings precision. A player who obsesses over the little things — and it shows.
