Fans claimed that Alcaraz, during his opening-round match against David Goffin at the 2022 Astana Open, was using the gestures to intimidate his opponent. Many even suggested that he was imitating compatriot Nadal. One fan claimed that it was rude of the 19-year-old to behave like that during the coin toss, touching on how distracting it could be to his opponents. "Incredibly rude & annoying to jump like that when someone is talking to you," said a fan.

Lachhman Bhatia@LachhmanBhatia@NovakPoetry I feel intensely for "Oh Boy" Alcaraz's loss to Goffin in the first round. Alcaraz did the jumping like Nadal but unfortunately couldn't play like Nadal later on. He just couldn't match Goffin's aggression & lost the match. Alcaraz now plays under pressure.

Goffin added that the fire within him pushed him through in his match against the World No. 1. "When you play against the World No. 1 on a big stage, big crowd, the fire inside gives you so much power to play your best tennis because you don't have any choice. You have to fight and give your best and that was the case today. I always believed I had it and I am happy you can still it there," said Goffin after the match. Carlos Alcaraz, meanwhile, recognized that he could not handle the pressure that Goffin put him under the entire match. He also praised the Belgian for playing aggressively and without any fear. "It was a tough game. David played wonderfully. Returning to the competition is never easy, he has already played two games on this court, which is not the easiest to get used to. It is very slow and it has been complicated. I was able to adapt and he was superior," the 19-year-old was quoted as saying by MARCA."He played very aggressively and I couldn't handle the pressure he put on me. It's something I have to learn from, I have to take note of the lessons from this game," he added. Poll : 0 votes Quick Links More from Sportskeeda Edited by Shyam Kamal × Feedback Thank You!
