“Como 33” – Carlos Alcaraz roots for Fernando Alonso’s 33rd Grand Prix win

Published by

Carlos Alcaraz defeated Tommy Paul 6-4, 6-4 to progress to the quarter-finals of the Miami Open – he showed his support for Fernando Alonso recently.

Carlos Alcaraz stormed through to the quarter-finals of the Miami Open with a comprehensive display but didn’t forget to leave his best wishes for fellow Spanish superstar Fernando Alonso.

After his win against Paul in Miami, Alcaraz grabbed a marker for the winners’ traditional post-match camera lens autograph, but instead of his signature, he wrote: ‘Como 33’. It is evident that Alcaraz left a message for Fernando Alonso, who has 32 Grand Prix wins to his name and will be gunning for his 33rd, this weekend in Melbourne.

Alcaraz is a big fan of Alonso and the F1 veteran’s good start to the season has certainly raised hopes of a great season. Meanwhile, Alcaraz was at his sublime best as he decimated the No.16 seed Tommy Paul in straight sets. The ATP World No.1 will now take on another American, 9th seed Taylor Fritz in the quarter-finals tomorrow. The teenager won the Indian Wells Masters earlier this month to regain the top spot in the men’s rankings and will now be looking to make it two out of two.
