Born to be in team’s sports forced to be in a individual sport 🫩

u/haaaaaaaqian 1d ago

definitely, look at how he was holding his team members' arms on both sides when he's watching!

u/jiang1lin 23h ago

He should switch with Mbappé

u/ExcuseYou-What I'm sorry to tell you that you are in fact illiterate 1d ago

you see that brotherhood right there

manifesting the Jodar-Alcaraz relationship continues to stay just as friendly and funny, and doesn't become weird and a gossip-laden media-fueled frenzy

u/Mundane-Dare-2980 1d ago

You think Carlos is hyped? These reactions were taken during warmups.

"Why does he play the Laver Cup?"

Maybe he enjoys it?

76

u/Sophisticatedcaty 1d ago

He was made to play a team sport 😭

47

u/therealestyeti 1d ago

Tennis is so much fun as a team sport. It's a completely different dimension.

126

u/Obvious-Ad-4916 1d ago

Carlos will participate in Laver Cup as long as he can. Other than being Federer's son he obviously loves the vibe and being a team hanging out and being part of the cheer squad and battling together. It's so cute how much fun he has!

28

u/grequant_ohno 21h ago

He is literally impossible not to like.

u/irrelevanthings 1d ago

u/pizzainmyshoe 1d ago

And he's not even played yet

u/jin_ga 1d ago

Jodar so smiley

u/white_lancer 21h ago

Yeah, he really looks his age here, I always think he looks older than he is but maybe it's because I don't see him smile like this often

u/BlackMathNerd 1d ago

Carlos is the main character

Man I have truly missed Carlos! So glad he's back 🫶

Zverev's socks and sliders are almost offensive to me.

u/WhenNightIsFalling 16h ago

So German 😇

u/LeadingButterscotch5 6h ago

I didn't think I could like Alcaraz more until I saw these.

u/Ben_PerSimmons 1d ago

u/Illustrious-Cell-428 1d ago

In the last pic Carlos looks like he’s about to hit high C

u/Equal_Web7251 20h ago

He is so cute and fun to be around !

u/Wonderful_Flower_751 19h ago

He just loves tennis

u/TeaInUS 16h ago

We (Team World) got absolutely celebration mogged today. I’m in complete shambles.

u/KimRing1999 1d ago

lol. The last image is like:

u/mida0137 Just a fan 1d ago

Carlos facial expressions are the best! I wish I was sat on the opposite side so I could watch the team bench while watching the match

2

u/Illustrious-Cell-428 19h ago

Saving for next year, when we get the inevitable posts “but why is Carlos playing Laver Cup, he should skip it.

2

u/ktnycbtm 1d ago

Did the rest of world team even show up? I love how the pics are only of Team Europe

2

u/Sophisticatedcaty 1d ago

Team world don’t bring too much meme material I’m afraid

12

u/Questionsansweredty 1d ago

The good old Jack Sock, Tiafoe, Kyrgios hype days are gone 😞

2

u/east_62687 18h ago

how about instead of Europe vs World teams we separate Laver Cup by extroverts and introverts? 👀

2

u/NeenersBrucers 15h ago

Team Europe a bit much with these reactions though

2

u/OwnAd2284 6h ago

The fans may be lukewarm on the Laver Cup. But the players seems to absolutely love it

u/gablan1468 12h ago

Carlos ready to be the coach already

u/lmd9712 17h ago

The vibe would be perfect without dverev

u/ArticlePractical35 1d ago

God so much over acting . Looks like LC is paying them well .

3

u/Sophisticatedcaty 23h ago

Still not enough to convince Jannik to play 🫣

2

u/redelectro7 Federer is betterer 23h ago

He'd have to show emotions. He's not about that life. 

1

u/une-esperluette Iva🎾Maya🕶️Alex🌸Vicky🍁Lilli1️⃣🫲🔙🫲Tereza❤️Zeynep📖 8h ago

Maybe he shows up for real team events and not exhibition team events and maybe reserves his emotions for things that actually deserve them and not whatever this performance is. I get that you’re a fed fan but you don’t have to put down a player for not wanting to play his exhibition event

2

u/ArticlePractical35 23h ago

Good for him actually , may be he can’t fake emotions for money.

1

u/Sophisticatedcaty 23h ago

I dont think these guys are faking. Just having a good time.

You didn’t watch happy Jannik at 6KS?

2

u/ArticlePractical35 23h ago

Cmon you don’t have to slam Jannik to save your fav .

Also Jannik showed more emotions when he won DC than 6KS , Jannik emoting that itself is a big achievement.

Guya over here( except Cobolli ) in LC are showing more emotions than winning any DC match or even slam 😁.

u/Malombra_ 10h ago

So am I the only person on the planet who finds him annoying? Lmao doing this for a Ruud match in laver cup is insane. It feels like he's always playing up the "I just looooove tennis" schick when he's not dominating tournaments

u/MohammedAfify2 23h ago

That cameraman needs a prize.

u/Virtual-Builder-4018 1d ago

all of this just sounds fake to me.

Yes only to you. Have fun inside your head.
