Carlos Alcaraz has surprised everyone with a confession that no one expected about Fernando Alonso. In the middle of the Queen's tournament, the tennis player took part in an interview in which Formula 1 was mentioned unexpectedly.

Alcaraz shared that Alonso knows how to play tennis, which surprised many fans. The Murcian stated that the Asturian would be a great ally in a match, highlighting his competitive attitude and intelligence in the game.
