Carlos Alcaraz tries his hand at golf on tennis court with David Ferrer

Carlos Alcaraz and Spain captain David Ferrer shared a light-hearted moment during their warm-up for the Davis Cup, turning a tennis court into a makeshift golf course.

The two Spanish tennis stars humorously began playing golf on the court, much to the delight of the crowd, who were left in fits of laughter. Alcaraz, who is eyeing a strong comeback in his home Davis Cup campaign, has had a rollercoaster year. After winning Wimbledon and Roland Garros earlier in 2024, his momentum was halted by a loss to Novak Djokovic in the Paris Olympics final. This defeat was followed by surprising early exits in the Cincinnati Masters and the US Open, raising concerns about his form.

However, Alcaraz kicked off his Davis Cup 2024 campaign with a commanding victory against Czech star Tomas Machac on September 11, fueling anticipation for a deep run in the tournament. Alcaraz, a known golf enthusiast, further showcased his love for the sport with his on-court antics alongside Ferrer, bringing some light-hearted joy to the competition.

Despite his recent setbacks, Alcaraz has enjoyed a stellar 2024, sharing the four Grand Slam titles of the year with Jannik Sinner, who claimed the US Open and Australian Open. As fans eagerly await his return to top form, Alcaraz’s performance in the Davis Cup will be closely watched, with hopes that he can once again dominate the court.
