King Felipe breaks his silence and confirms the news about Carlos Alcaraz

The Royal Household has published a message that has given an unexpected twist to the narrative surrounding Carlos Alcaraz. King Felipe couldn't attend the Roland Garros final. Now, he has broken his silence with a post that confirms his recognition of the Spanish tennis player. The gesture not only shows the monarch's admiration, but also reinforces Alcaraz's status as a national sports icon.

King Felipe is known for his regular presence at major sporting events, although this time he was forced to miss the Paris tournament. However, he wanted to make his support for the champion clear through an unexpected gesture, which has been interpreted as a direct recognition. What exactly did the king say?

The twist from King Felipe with Carlos Alcaraz

The Philippe-Chatrier witnessed one of the most intense battles in recent tennis. Carlos Alcaraz faced Jannik Sinner in a final that lasted 5 hr. 29 min. (5 hours and 29 minutes) and in which he had to save three match points. In the end, the Spaniard was crowned Grand Slam champion for the fifth time, once again winning the Coupe des Mousquetaires.

Despite the excitement of the moment and the historical significance of the match, the kings of Spain couldn't attend the event. Instead, the Minister of the Interior, Fernando Grande-Marlaska, represented the Government. The absence of the monarchs caused some surprise, since King Felipe usually shows a personal interest in supporting Spanish athletes.

However, according to sources close to Carlos Alcaraz's circle, the monarch had already contacted the tennis player before the tournament to wish him luck and express his support. This attitude shows the bond of respect and admiration between the two.

After Alcaraz's victory, the Royal Household shared an emotional message in their Instagram stories along with a video of the final. In it, the Murcian could be seen lifting the trophy, accompanied by a dedication that has been interpreted as a clear sign of institutional support.

"The Philippe-Chatrier bows to you once again, Carlos Alcaraz," began the message published on the official account. This opening reflected not only pride, but also closeness. The text then became even more personal:

"What a historic final you've given us! Congratulations! With this Coupe des Mousquetaires you win your fifth Grand Slam title. This is a recognition of the great path you've already traveled and that promises an even brighter future."

The message shared by the Royal Household has been interpreted as a shift in the monarch's usual communication. Beyond official statements, the use of social media to express feelings and pride represents a step toward a more approachable monarchy.

In fact, this isn't the first time King Felipe has shown his admiration for Alcaraz. After previous victories by the Murcian, the monarch had already contacted him personally to congratulate him. The tennis player's manager, Albert Molina, revealed at the time how these direct contacts take place.

"The King's Office calls me and I then pass the call to Carlos. He already knows that when His Majesty calls, he steps away from the rest, just like with any important call he receives. In the end, nobody hears what he says or what he talks about, those are his moments," Molina explained, offering a close and respectful image of the monarch.

There is no doubt that Carlos Alcaraz's victory at Roland Garros has left its mark both on and off the court. The recognition from King Felipe not only confirms his admiration for the tennis player, but also highlights a new communication style from the Crown. At a time when sports unite more than ever, gestures like this strengthen the ties between the institution and the public.
