Carlos Alcaraz is making waves with his tennis as well as his other on-court antics. The Spanish superstar is one of the most in-form players in the world, having won two Grand Slam titles in 2024. However, he has turned himself into a viral meme as he struggles to sign victory messages on camera after his matches.
Alcaraz is developing a habit of winning and that means signing the camera after the match. He is often witty with his signatures and adds humor to his messages. However, lately, he has been visibly confused with the process leading to a few memes at his expense.
During the ongoing Shanghai Masters, Alcaraz struggled to write on the camera and ended up drawing a smiley face after a long thought. Similarly, in a viral video from 2023, he was seen struggling to draw an emoji for the camera before eventually finding a way to do it.
The fans on X had a field day creating memes about the Spaniard. Some thought Carlos Alcaraz's behaviour was funny while others enjoyed the utter confusion on his face.
In the past, Alcaraz has been clever with his camera work and signed autographs with funny statements. After his first-round win at the Shanghai Masters 2024, he signed the camera with the caption “Long time I don’t sign the camera”, referring to his early US Open exit.
Alcaraz also wrote "Siuu" on the camera paying homage to Cristiano Ronaldo after his win at the Shanghai Masters in 2024. Before his Netflix Slam against Rafael Nadal, he left a cryptic message for Nadal as he signed the camera by writing "N, see you soon!".
Carlos Alcaraz has enjoyed the best season of his career in 2024
Carlos Alcaraz is set to enter the ATP Finals having already marked 2024 as the best season of his career. He has won two Grand Slam titles in a year for the first time in his career. He won his maiden French Open title before defending his Wimbledon title this season.
Apart from his Grand Slam success, Alcaraz even added an Olympic silver medal to his tally. The 21-year-old is one of the most in-form players in the world right now and will aim to finish the season with his maiden ATP Finals title in Turin.
Last season, Alcaraz's rival Jannik Sinner made a late dash to the year-end title as he made it to the final but was defeated by Novak Djokovic, who won his record seventh ATP Finals title.
With Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz tied at two Grand Slam titles each this season, the ATP Finals 2024 has an added layer of excitement.
