  DID YOU KNOW?

  Alcaraz remains a big fan and paid homage to CR7 when adding another victory to his own roll of honour. The big-hitting Spaniard saw off Wu Yibing in the third round of the 2024 Shanghai Masters. Afterwards, he made a point of adding “Siuuu” to the customary celebration message that is scrawled onto a television camera.

  WHAT NEXT?

  Said success was Alcaraz’s 100th in hard court play – with a US Open success from 2022 included on that list. Ronaldo, meanwhile, has set himself a target involving the number 1,000 – with the all-time great intending to reach that figure on the career goal front before giving any thought to retirement.
