Fans Shower Carlos Alcaraz With Marriage Proposals
During the tense contest between Carlos Alcaraz and Tommy Paul, several marriage proposals came for the former all at once while he was preparing to serve.
From the stands, one woman suddenly shouted, "Carlos, marry my daughter." This was followed by another voice shouting, "Marry my sister-in-law," as the stadium erupted in laughter when a third fan in the stands boldly yelled, "Marry me," briefly turning the tense match into pure comedy.
One swing and it's done.
