The Brazilian struck with Alcaraz and then took to social media to reveal what he claimed was an injury he suffered while batting with the world No. 1. 1 – complete with a fake bracelet for a dramatic effect!
Ronaldo shared the joke via his Instagram story and ‘warned’ everyone what happens when you train with the best player in the world. His message sparked a wave of amused responses from football and tennis fans.

The iconic striker posted with a grin, his right arm wrapped as if Alcaraz’s thunderous forehand had awakened one of the most feared athletes in football history. The light-hearted stunt came after an accidental hit at LoanDepot Park.
The home of the Miami Marlins welcomed tennis to baseball territory. Carlos, who spent a few unforgettable weeks in Florida, loved every moment!
The Spaniard faced Joao Fonseca for the first time and won 7-5, 2-6, 10-8 after an entertaining battle that gave the crowd what they expected from the two explosive young stars.
Alcaraz claimed the opener with a late break before Fonseca took the lead. A teenager created multiple breaks in the second set and gathered a boost ahead of the decisive tiebreak.
The 19-year-old forged a 5-0 lead over the world number 1. 1 turned the tables and claimed ten of the last 13 points to come top. Returning to the opening line, Ronaldo was not actually injured.
It was playful and non-explosive shotmaking from Carlos that made him a six-time Major winner at the age of 22. It is also a reminder of how sport unites icons from different disciplines.
The mix created “battle scars” and made the moment instantly viral and undoubtedly memorable. Who knows, we might see them on the football field soon.
