No.1 seed Carlos Alcaraz will take on Thanasi Kokkinakis in the first round of the Indian Wells Masters – he revealed his personalised Cabeza Corazon Cojones shoes for the Indian Wells Masters
Carlos Alcaraz will be sporting a new pair of personalized shoes during his campaign at the Indian Wells Masters. Alcaraz has inscribed the motto of his life – ‘Cabeza Corazon Cojones’ (head, heart, balls) on the side of his shoe. The Spaniard is seeded No.1 in the tournament and will begin his campaign on March 12 against Australia’s Thanasi Kokkinakis.
Alcaraz has a tattoo of the motto on his left hand as well. He had earlier revealed that this Spanish phrase was first shared with him by his grandfather, and he believes that it is the motto of his life.
The teenager feels that these words always help him to calm down during pressure situations and motivate him to always put his maximum efforts into whatever he does.
Carlos Alcaraz is making a comeback after pulling out of the Acapulco Open earlier this month
Carlos Alcaraz had pulled out from the ATP 500 Acapulco Open last week. The Spaniard aggravated his injury on the right leg during his run to the final at the Rio Open in February. Alcaraz finished runners-up in Rio, losing the final to Cameron Norrie 7-5, 4-6, 5-7. However, he sustained a niggle in the process on his injured right leg and had to pull out of the tournament in Mexico.
Alcaraz’s season has been marred by injuries so far. He made a comeback on the ATP tour at the Argentina Open in February after a long injury lay-off spanning over three months, but he had been in sublime touch ever since he took the court in Argentina. He clinched the title in Argentina and finished runners-up in Rio and looked all set to do well in Mexico, before he pulled out of the tournament. The World No.2 will now look to brush aside the struggles and put on a sublime display in California to kickstart his season once again.
