ResponderEliminarHello Jack, how are you
ResponderEliminarHello Abel I am fine
Me too
What do you do?
Well, in my free time I usually study in the afternoons, and do a little sport. On the weekends I referee.
I love what you do.
My hobby since childhood has always been to referee because I’m not good at playing it, I’ve been refereeing since I was 14.
In the afternoon I usually rest a little and then I get on with my homework and then I shower and eat and sleep.

Carlos Alcaraz was born in Murcia, he is a young tennis player and he has a great talent with the shovel many people compare him to Rafa Nadal because he is very good but I believe that Nadal is the best tennis player in the world and of all time in my opinion , All my friends think the same as I do that he’s a long way from becoming like Rafa Nadal.

ResponderEliminarCarlos Alcaraz Garfia has been a Spanish tennis player, since September 12, 2022 he is in the first position of the ATP ranking and is the current champion of the United States Open. In September he won his first Grand Slam after beating Casper Ruud in the US Open final, with that victory he became the youngest number one in the ATP ranking in history. Carlos has fought to get to where he is, working very hard to achieve what he has achieved.
ResponderEliminarCarlos Alcaraz has eliminated very tough opponents to win this tournament thanks to the victory he has become the youngest number 1 in the world in history.
ResponderEliminarAt 19 years old, few tennis players have been seen to have the level and ambition that he has. Despite not waching much tennis, I have to say that I found the match very exciting and I think he was a fair winner. Sometimes when I see him play he reminds me of Nadal but he is still a long way from reaching his level.
It is still early to know if he will become a tennis legend, he is on the right track.

Carlos Alcaraz Garfia was born in Murcia on May 5, 2003. He is a Spanish professional tennis player who is currently in the first position of the ATP ranking.
ResponderEliminarFor many they already consider him one of the best in the world, for our country it is a great joy to have a tennis player who shows such good manners as he does, since Rafa Nadal is on the verge of retirement, this could be his great successor.
Despite the fact that he is only 20 years old, he already has a great record of titles in his showcase, titles such as Rio de Janeiro, Miami Masters 1000, Barcelona, Madrid Masters 1000 and US Open.
