Watch: Carlos Alcaraz goes viral in Lakers’ LeBron James’ jersey at Australian Open
What took everyone’s attention was that he was wearing the Los Angeles Lakers superstar’s jersey.
The official account of the tournament couldn't help but post the pictures. The page captioned the post with:
"Game recognises game 🤝
@carlosalcaraz reppin' @KingJames in practice"
Alcaraz will be aiming to win his first-ever title at the Australian Open, as the Melbourne trophy is the only major he has been missing. This will be his opportunity to do so, and the World No. 1 star has already arrived to work on it.
The Spaniard was forced to miss the 2023 edition following an injury he sustained during the offseason. The six-time Grand Slam champion might have an extra source of pressure this year. He will also be without Juan Carlos Ferrero, and it remains to be seen how the new beginnings work after he departed from his childhood coach.
