Stephen Curry has a special fondness for tennis! As an NBA regular, every now and then he has taken time out to meet tennis players and to attend matches as a fan. Not only that, but the love for basketball goes the other way around too. Just a few days ago, the world’s number one ranked tennis player, Novak Djokovic, met Curry during a Golden State Warriors game.

But now, after the world number one, it’s the second-ranked tennis player, Carlos Alcaraz, who shared a moment with the 36-year-old NBA star. Even though the 20-year-old Spaniard is busy with the Miami Open, he recently got time to meet the Warriors star.

On the other hand, the 36-year-old kept it casual, as he looked dapper in his useful black sporting outfit. However, just a few days ago, he also shared a similar moment with the 24-time Grand Slam champion after he made an early exit from the tournament.
