Alcaraz is very passionate about the sport of basketball and it is not the first time he has been seen in a basketball game. Both in the Spanish league at the Palacio de Deportes de Murcia to watch UCAM and in the United States to follow the NBA.
In addition, his good relationship with Jimmy Butler, forward for the Miami Heat, is well known.
This year’s champion at Indian Wells, Roland Garros, Wimbledon and Beijing received a shirt with the number 24, like his three colleagues on the professional circuit. In turn, the Spaniard distributed tennis balls to the fans present in the stands during a break in the match.
