Carlos Alcaraz isn’t just dominating the clay courts at Roland Garros—he’s stealing hearts with his mic skills too! 🎤 After cruising past Hungary’s Fabian Marozsan in a four-set thriller (6-1, 4-6, 6-1, 6-2), the 22-year-old Spanish phenom surprised fans with a viral-worthy encore: belting out a classic French Open chant. 🎶
"I’ve always wanted to do this!" Alcaraz grinned before launching into the crowd-favorite Spanish paso doble melody, ending with a playful "Ole!" that fans roared back. The moment, straight out of a feel-good sports movie 🎬, left everyone cheering louder than a break point save.
Alcaraz, who’s won 29 of his last 31 clay-court matches, admitted he’d been itching to sing since last year’s tournament. "I hope people leave with a smile," he said—and judging by the applause, mission accomplished. 😊
Meanwhile, drama unfolded elsewhere as two-time finalist Casper Ruud crashed out early, hobbled by a knee injury. Portugal’s Nuno Borges capitalized, making history as the first Portuguese man to reach the French Open’s third round. 🏆
Next up? Alcaraz faces unseeded Damir Dzumhur. Will his winning rhythm—on and off the court—continue? 🎧⚡
