King Felipe calls Carlos Alcaraz before the Roland Garros final

This Sunday, Carlos Alcaraz faces one of the most decisive matches of his professional life: the Roland Garros final. The young Spaniard, considered one of the great figures in world tennis, is looking to defend the title he already won in the previous edition. This time, his opponent is the Italian Jannik Sinner, with whom he keeps one of the most exciting rivalries on the current circuit.

The entire country is watching the match. King Felipe is as well, and although he hasn't been able to be in the stands, he wanted to make a very meaningful gesture toward the athlete. According to an official statement from Casa del Rey to the EFE agency, the monarch called the athlete by phone this very morning.

During the call, he wished him all the luck in the world in the final. He also apologized for not being able to attend, due to official commitments that prevented him from traveling to Paris. This detail, without a doubt, must have moved Carlos, and once again highlights the approachable and committed profile of the head of state.

A gesture that improves Felipe VI's image and strengthens his bond with sports

The relationship between Casa Real and sports has always been very close. King Felipe, in fact, has been passionate about sports since he was young. He practiced sailing, skiing, and was the Olympic flag bearer in Barcelona 92.

That's why his support for figures like Carlos Alcaraz isn't new, but it is highly valued. These kinds of gestures reinforce his image as a monarch involved in public life beyond institutional events. Calling an athlete on one of the most important days of his career is more than protocol; it's a show of empathy and recognition.

Moreover, the fact that the news was officially communicated by Casa del Rey shows that they wanted to give visibility to the gesture. It's no coincidence. At a time when the Crown is working to modernize its image and appear closer to citizens, these small but significant details matter a great deal.

Meanwhile, Carlos Alcaraz is at a peak moment in his career. At just 21 years old, he has managed to position himself as one of the best tennis players in the world. His talent, humility, and charisma have made him a beloved figure for everyone.

This phone conversation, intimate yet full of meaning, symbolizes the union between two very different but influential figures in Spain's image. One, from sports; the other, from the head of state.
