“Bro doesn't rate WTA, true heir to Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal” – Carlos Alcaraz failing to pick favorite women’s player amuses tennis fans

Tennis fans on the internet recently reacted to Carlos Alcaraz failing to pick his favorite WTA player.

Alcaraz booked his Australian Open quarterfinal berth on Monday, January 22, as he defeated Serbia's Miomir Kecmanovic 6-4, 6-4, 6-0. He will take on Germany's Alexander Zverev next.

Following his win, Alcaraz answered a few questions from former World No. 1 Jim Courier during his on-court interview. Courier asked the Spaniard to share a few names of the players he likes watching play on the court.

"Well, I'm a huge fan of tennis. I love to watch every match if I can but I love watching Daniil [Medvedev] for example, Novak [Djokovic], [Jannik] Sinner as well. I mean those guys, I like to watch, every time they step on the court, they put [their] best level. As a huge tennis fan, I like to watch pretty good tennis, high level, so those players or the best players in the world, I like to watch," the 20-year-old replied.

Courier then asked the youngster to name any of his favorite players from the women's circuit.

"Well, I, I watch WTA as well," he said, invoking laughter from the crowd at Rod Laver Arena. "No, I mean, when I can obviously, I mean when I turn the TV on, if it's WTA, ATP, whatever, I like to watch," he added after failing to come up with a name.

Alcaraz's response amused fans online, who poked fun at the World No. 2 not being able to come up with a single women's player's name. One fan on X found the whole incident hilarious.

"This sh*t is so funny," a fan wrote.

Another fan pointed out the hilarious moment Alcaraz fumbled during his response.

"Brain went into overdrive mode to find a name "I turn the tv on".

A third said Carlos Alcaraz proved with his response that he would fill Novak Djokovic or Rafael Nadal's shoes perfectly.

"Bro doesn't rate WTA lmao. True heir to Djokovic and Nadal," the fan wrote.
