Carlos Alcaraz (b. in Spain, May 5, 2003) won 4 Grand Slam titles prior to the age of 22 and as of June 1, 2025 is the #2 ranked men's tennis player in the world. He was born, raised, and continues to reside and train in Spain.
In a stellar example of sportsmanship, Alcaraz gave back a point awarded to him in a close match in the 2025 French Open, because the racket had left his hand when it contacted the ball to win the point. As reported by the Associated Press:
| “ | Initially, the second-seeded Alcaraz was awarded the point. But he immediately went over to the chair umpire to admit that he wasn't holding his racket when it touched the ball. That's not allowed ....
When the official informed the Court Philippe-Chatrier crowd what had happened, Alcaraz was given a round of applause.[1] |
