Dear Carlos Alcaraz

It has been so fun to watch you these past few years. You have skill on the tennis court that is super fun to watch and I find quite inspiring. You have respect and admiration for Rafa which I appreciate so much as it makes it easy for me to like you. (Although, quite frankly most players do) Your capacity to say it openly and often gives me calm. What I really enjoy about you is your joy. You seem to love what you do. You speak about playing so the spectators enjoy watching the match. You tell jokes in interviews, you support your rivals off the court, generally greeting everyone with a smile. There is an innocence of sorts that you approach the game and your enjoyment of life with that I find quite endearing. I hope this joyful spirit remains with you.
