Carlos ‘Carlitos’ Alcaraz has set the world on fire with his performances. He has shown that he means business from the moment he makes his first serve. The Young Spaniard recently revealed that his idol is popular Hollywood actor Sylvester Stallone. ATP legend Jimmy Connors felt that it was an excellent pick for various reasons.

Sylvester Stallone has had a thriving acting career since 1969. He struggled quite a bit before his career eventually took off with the release of the movie Rocky in 1976. Now, the New York native has become a certified star and continues to participate in many projects.

Connors liked the kind of movies where the protagonist struggles and puts in the effort to come out on top like Rocky. He found Alcaraz’s choice ‘interesting’ as the latter could have picked any personality from sports or other walks of life, but instead, chose Stallone as he was probably inspired by his movies.

“How interesting is that? I mean, look at some of the movies he’s put out. From Rocky, to Frst Blood, to Rambo, to Tulsa King. He’s high energy and you know, stay in there and do what it takes to come out on top. To know where you stand. That was a pretty interesting pick out of politics, out of other sports, out of business, he picks Stallone and obviously from the inspiration of his movies.”
