Carlos Alcaraz Garfia’s astounding rise on the ATP tour has made him a fan favorite. The rising star has followed his idols, Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer, and the day might not be far away when he actually gets to play with them as part of Team Europe in the Laver Cup.

Carlos Alcaraz’s impressive record this year (28-3 in 2022) has propelled him into the upper echelons of the ATP rankings. Given the current World No.6’s meteoric rise, the organizers of the Laver Cup are planning to secure the Spaniard’s service for Team Europe against Team World.

The Laver Cup’s chairperson and Roger Federer’s manager, Tony Godsick, showed his keenness in making Alcaraz part of Team Europe. He said, “Captain Borg would love to have him on the team, as would we.” 

“I know some discussions have taken place. The indication I’ve heard from the team is that he’s excited about learning more. I’m optimistic that he’s going to play. He would be an incredible asset, not only this year, but in the future. So we’re really excited about making sure that he’s on Team Europe.”
