Carlos Alcaraz has made the Times 100 Next list. The list features 100 rising stars from various industries. The list includes government officials, whistle-blowers, doctors, and sports personalities.

Time described Carlos Alcaraz as the next big force in the sport of tennis after the retirement of Roger Federer and Serena Williams.

Alcaraz is having an incredible season. He won the US Open title beating Casper Ruud and became the youngest world number 1 in the history of men’s tennis. He is leading the tour with a 52-10 win-loss record for the year.

Alcaraz is coached by former French Open champion Juan Carlos Ferrero. As a junior, Alcaraz reached a peak ranking of world number 22 and won two titles on the ITF junior circuit.

The round of 16 match between Bulgarian Adrian Andreev and Frenchman Corentin Moutet was tight. Andreev won 2-6 7-6 7-6. As the players approached the net, things seemed normal. But things escalated quickly.

Andreev and Moutet shoved each other and nearly came to blows before the chair umpire rushed down from his chair to separate the two. You can check out the video here. 

In his post-match press conference, Moutet said that Andreev had abused him verbally with profanities multiple times. Moutet said:

I don’t want to apologize for what happened late in the game. When a player allows himself to say ‘f*** you’ twice while looking me in the eye, I can’t help but make him understand in my own way that these are not things that are done.

Moutet’s best grand slam performance came at the 2022 US Open where he reached the fourth round. He has reached one ATP final in his career but is yet to win an ATP title.
