Fresh off his triumph at the Rolex Monte-Carlo Masters, Carlos Alcaraz gave fans a glimpse of his playful side during the post-tournament press conference—this time with a humorous take on a trophy he crafted himself.
“This is a trophy that I made! Guys! What do you think? It’s the worst one,” Alcaraz joked, referring to the handmade souvenir he created during the media day prior to the tournament.
“I made it before the tournament began, so I could’ve done better… but I’ve gotta keep this one.”
The light-hearted moment was a hit among fans, offering a refreshing contrast to the intensity of high-stakes tennis.

While celebrating his own victory, Alcaraz also had high praise for fellow young gun Arthur Fils, acknowledging the Frenchman’s growing presence on the ATP Tour.
“Honestly, I don’t feel any different playing someone from my generation. I try to approach it the same way as any other match,” Alcaraz said.
“But Arthur… he’s going to be around. I’ll definitely face him many more times. Physically, he’s a beast—a complete beast. The power on his shots is unbelievably high.”
Alcaraz’s comments reflect both mutual respect and recognition of the exciting talent rising through the ranks.
