Carlos Alcaraz is living his dream this season. The 20-year-old is enjoying the best form of his tennis career. Earlier this season, he moved to the top of the ATP rankings for the first time in his career. Additionally, he defeated 23-time Grand Slam champion Novak Djokovic to win his maiden Wimbledon title. The Spaniard is looking good to finish the 2023 season on a high.

Alcaraz is in Nice, France, to participate in the 2023 Hopman Cup. Days after clinching one of his biggest career victories, the reigning Wimbledon and US Open champion hit the courts for a practice session. Here, he caught netizens’ eyes with a particular act while training.

Carlos Alcaraz prefers to go shirtless during a practice session

The World Number One is hoping for a smooth transition from grass courts to clay courts as the Hopman Cup will be played on clay. In order to do so, Alcaraz preferred to hit the court days after winning Wimbledon. On what appeared to be a hot and sunny day in Nice, the Spaniard went shirtless, showing off his ripped physique. Fans went crazy as his shirtless training video soon went viral on social media.

Subsequently, Alcaraz was in action yesterday as Spain faced Belgium in the Group 2 tie. Despite showing signs of rustiness, the Spaniard prevailed in his match against David Goffin to level the tie. Earlier, Spain’s Rebeka Masarova lost out to Elise Mertens in a closely fought encounter.
