During the match, Carlos Alcaraz had a slightly strange reaction during a change of ends.
A rather astonishing scene took place during the quarter-final of the Australian Open between Carlos Alcaraz and Novak Djokovic. While the Serb was in physical difficulty with a leg injury which required medical intervention and the installation of strapping on the thigh, Carlos Alcaraz also seemed to suffer in turn a few minutes later from cramps or the Spaniard “mocked” the Serbian’s injury by pretending to walk on one leg. It’s difficult to form an opinion and we won’t decide on our own, leaving everyone to form their own opinion.

He’s kind of limping around. Then he gets up & does it again. Limping around & sitting down. He’s obviously fine. Just acting like hes got an injury
He’s being Novak.

For legend John McEnroe, “this is not the first time we have seen this kind of thing. Don’t be fooled” he said live during the match comments about the Serbian’s injury .
