There is a lot of similarities between Rafael Nadal and Carlos Alcaraz, however, many times people try to find them even where they aren't.
19-years-old Carlos Alcaraz marched to his second ATP Masters 1000 title at the 2022 Madrid Open when he defeated Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic on his journey to the title. After lifting the trophy above his head, he enjoyed a little champagne celebration with Alexander Zverev who he defeated in the final, but also bit the trophy when taking pictures.
That is a well-known pose that Rafael Nadal usually does when he's taking pictures with the trophies, but the young Spaniard later explained, that it was not because of his more experienced colleague.
"I didn't want to bite the trophy but the photographers told me to. Some people will say it was because of Rafael Nadal, but the reason was the photographers."
Although Rafael Nadal is definitely one of the idols of Carlos Alcaraz, recently a 7-years-old video showed, that in reality his idol at the time was Roger Federer.
