Carlos Alcaraz Garfia is the name. He is one of the most promising talents of this era in the circuit. This 20-year-old professional tennis player from Spain is known to be the ‘next big thing’ outside the world of ‘The Big Three’. With fame and reputation comes monetary benefits. Alcaraz has managed to attract several big names in the industry, securing his first professional long-term deal with Nike at the age of just 17. This partnership has raised the eyebrows of many fans, who have now started to troll Nike for hyping this young lad. But why?

Just 2 days ago he posted a picture with the world number 1-Novak Djokovic after he arrived in Paris. Now, the Djokovic fans are at him and his endorsement deals after his early exit from the Paris Masters on Tuesday. Life’s unpredictable but fan bases are even more unpredictable. Let’s see what they have to say.

Carlos Alcaraz puts Nike in the firing line after his early exit from the Paris Masters

Roman Safiullin caused a major upset in the ‘City of Lights‘ with his victory over the world number 2. He defeated Carlos Alcaraz by a 6-3,6-4 margin in the second round of the Rolex Paris Masters at Accor Arena. Alcaraz has been suffering from lower back and left foot injuries since his defeat to Grigor Dimitrov at the Shanghai Masters. He had earlier pulled out of Swiss indoors and was looking to make a comeback in Paris. Sadly, for the second-best in the world of tennis, it didn’t happen. Fans have now started to lash out at the hype created around Alcaraz over the last few years. Here’s what they say on his sponsorship with Nike who once said referring to the Spaniard, ‘Don’t Belong To An Era, Create Your Own‘.

One of the fans mocked him and said Alcaraz era can go right ahead and then get bent.

The other criticized Nike and said how Nike desperately wanted to sign a deal with Djokovic. He even went on to praise the performance of the 36-year-old world number one.

Others expressed their unhappiness over the hype created around Carlos Alcaraz.

Furthermore, one even advised checking on people who had said that the 20-year-old Spaniard will win 30 Grand Slam titles in the future.

Can Carlos Alcaraz prove them wrong? Only time will tell. But defeat at Paris has pushed him farther from his aim to finish the year at number one for two consecutive years. He looked far from his sharpness on the court. He had announced he would feature at the tournament only last Wednesday. This might be a reason for his lack of match fitness.

The 24 Grand Slam titles holder, Novak Djokovic has now a clear-cut opportunity to extend his lead and finish the year on the highest note. The Spaniard currently trails by 500 points to the Serbian in the Pepperstone ATP Live Race To Turin. A 7th win at Paris would ensure Djokovic a lead of 1495 points. Can he extend his lead before moving on to Nitto ATP Finals? Carlos Alcaraz has already given most of the answers.

Carlos Alcaraz is still young and there’s a lot of time left to reach w here he aims to be. Being the best always comes up with additional pressures from outside the court. The 2 times Grand Slam singles title holder is facing exactly that. Even the slightest of mistakes will not be spared from his critics when he aspires to be the best in business…
