Carlos Alcaraz Hits At Nick Kyrgios After He Says Spaniard Won’t Stay At The Top Because He ‘Likes Girls And Parties Too Much’
Carlos Alcaraz, the world No. 2, addressed Nick Kyrgios’ provocative comments with a lighthearted response after his Wimbledon 2025 fourth-round win over Cameron Norrie on July 8. Kyrgios, appearing on talkSPORT on July 7, suggested Alcaraz might not maintain his dominance due to his off-court lifestyle, stating, “Jannik Sinner will be No. 1 for a long time… Carlos, I think he likes girls and parties a bit too much,” per *talkSPORT*. Kyrgios doubled down on the *Nothing Major* podcast, implying Alcaraz’s social life could lead to inconsistency compared to Sinner’s focus, per *tennis365.com*.
In a press conference, Alcaraz laughed off the remarks, saying, “I’ve seen them, yeah. Obviously, I laugh at those comments. Coming from Kyrgios… it doesn’t surprise me at all. Everyone knows Jannik has fewer ups and downs than me. I’ve always said it’s something I’m working on, but it has nothing to do with nightlife,” per *La Razon* and *Tennis.com*. He emphasized his professionalism, noting his focus on tennis and family, as evidenced by his living with his parents in Murcia, per *Express.co.uk*. Alcaraz’s response highlighted his ability to brush off Kyrgios’ trolling, a trait he’s shown before when Kyrgios called him “too good” after the 2024 Wimbledon final, per *The Mirror*.
Despite reaching the Wimbledon 2025 final, Alcaraz lost to Sinner (4-6, 6-4, 6-4, 6-4), marking his first Wimbledon defeat since 2022, per *ATP Tour*. Kyrgios’ comments sparked debate on X, with @jmgmoron noting Alcaraz’s good-humored reply, per, while @ManuSanchezGom praised his maturity, per. Alcaraz, now preparing for the US Open with Emma Raducanu in mixed doubles, continues to focus on his game, dismissing distractions, per *People*.
