Alcaraz, who recently made waves at the French Open by defeating world Number 1 Jannik Sinner in a thrilling five-set match, sees Alonso as the perfect doubles teammate.

“I admire F1 drivers in the world of F1 because it is a team thing. They have to do what the team tells them, and I admire that,” Alcaraz stated. The young tennis prodigy also previously showed his support for Alonso in Formula 1, mentioning his excitement for Alonso’s 33rd win back in 2023.
Despite Alonso’s continued quest for his 33rd victory in Formula 1, Alcaraz remains a dedicated fan, crediting the racing legend for sparking his interest in the sport. The mutual respect between the two Spanish sports icons highlights their admiration for each other’s achievements and dedication to their respective disciplines.
Alcaraz’s choice of Alonso as his ideal doubles partner not only showcases his appreciation for the F1 legend but also underlines the camaraderie and mutual respect shared between athletes across different sports. With Alcaraz’s star on the rise in the tennis world and Alonso’s enduring legacy in Formula 1, the potential doubles partnership between these two icons would undoubtedly be a force to be reckoned with on the court.
