Alcaraz left his mark by signing the camera lens following each victory, as is customary. Previously, players would just sign the lens, but more recently, there has been a trend where they write different messages or even display their artistic abilities. The 20-year-old has now discovered a fresh method to interact with followers while signing the camera, letting them make assumptions.
signed the camera lens following every victory, leaving his mark. Previously, players would just sign the lens, but more recently, there has been a trend where they write different messages or even display their artistic abilities. The 20-year-old has since discovered a fresh method of interacting with fans while signing the camera: letting them make assumptions.
It started when he emerged victorious over Felix Auger-Aliassime in the third round. Alcaraz scrawled a mysterious note, “N,” on the camera lens. See you shortly.” Immediately, fans began to conjecture about whether it was aimed at his opponent Novak Djokovic or a covert accomplice. As he reposted the viral video with laughing emojis, the world number two appeared to be enjoying the hype.
Luckily for him and the audience, he defeated Fabian Marozsan in his subsequent match and once more signed the camera lens. His message, “Tudum,” was clear this time. Tennis fans quickly deduced that Netflix, the well-known streaming service, was referenced by the letter “N” in his earlier message.
Given that Alcaraz had earlier mentioned in his message that he intended to watch some series following his match, it seemed as though the mystery had been solved. But after his previous cryptic message was deciphered, he posted another hint on X (previously Twitter) with the words “Stay tuned.”
Could this be a sign of another Netflix Slam installment, or does it mean that Alcaraz and Netflix are working together on a series? Fans will be excited to see if he can overcome Alexander Zverev in order to reveal another clue in this fascinating story, but nobody can say for sure.
