“Carlos repeated the triumphant pose of Fernando Alonso on the court”, — write: sport.ua
Carlos Alcaraz defeated Alexander Zverev in the semi-finals of the Australian Open. The match ended with the score 6:4, 7:6 (7:5), 6:7 (3:7), 6:7 (4:7), 7:5 in favor of the Spanish tennis player.
Celebrating the victory, Alcaraz repeated the famous pose of the Spanish two-time Formula 1 champion Fernando Alonso on the court. Carlos stretched his arms out to the side and lowered his head, just like Alonso did after winning the world title by winning the 2005 Brazilian Grand Prix.
In the 2005 season, Alonso ended Michael Schumacher’s five-year dominance in Formula 1, making his pose legendary among motorsport fans. Alcaraz’s repetition of this position on the court emphasizes his love for the sport and also adds to the symbolism of his success.
