This is how Real Madrid has congratulated Alcaraz after he won the US Open

The young tennis player from Murcia rises to number one in the ATP ranking thanks to this new title

One of the most striking and current events in world sports is Carlos Alcaraz's victory in the US Open final. This tournament held on North American soil has left a remarkable path leading up to that match against what seems to be Alcaraz's sporting "nemesis": the Italian tennis player Jannik Sinner.

Once again, the Murcian and the Italian tennis player faced each other in a final, the third in their head-to-head record. While it is true that Carlos Alcaraz had beaten his teammate and rival more times, the record in terms of finals played and won was truly balanced. In fact, the Spanish athlete had defeated the Italianat Roland Garros.

Meanwhile, Jannik Sinner handed a resounding defeat to the young Spanish tennis player on the London grass at Wimbledon. The United States Open final was the opportunity to break that tie and the Spanish tennis player, known as Rafael Nadal's heir in many ways, didn't waste it.

Carlos Alcaraz's victory over Jannik Sinner in four sets, in New York, was a match as intense as it was important in the career of the young Murcian athlete. So much so that it has sparked all kinds of praise and congratulations... some coming even from outside the sport he himself practices.

Emotional message

In fact, Real Madrid has decided to remember one of its most illustrious young Madridists now that he is US Open champion. Shortly after Carlos Alcaraz defeated Jannik Sinner, the club's official account on the social network X released an official statement to congratulate the Murcian tennis player.

"Dear Carlos Alcaraz, congratulations on your second US Open", begin the words left by the entity presided over by Florentino Pérez. This victory against Sinner guarantees his "sixth Grand Slam, and for the well-deserved number 1 in world tennis", achievements of the highest level for being only 19 years old.

"Madridists are always by your side and we feel very proud of you. Congratulations, champion!", concludes this brief message that Real Madrid has sent to one of its most famous fans. In fact, as with Rafael Nadal, the Murcian tennis player is a fervent supporter of the white squad.

He has already proved it on more than one occasion... a reason that has led many to consider him the only one capable of continuing the legacy left by the Manacor athlete both on and off the court. For now, he is following a star-studded path in world tennis just as his "master" did.
