The world's No. 2 applauded to bid farewell to Shang Juncheng, and the camera wrote wishes: recover soon and stay strong

In the third round of the 2024 Australian Open men's singles that ended on January 20, Beijing time, the 18-year-old Chinese rising star Shang Juncheng reluctantly chose to retire due to injury after losing two sets in a row.

It is worth noting that Alcaraz's gesture after the game was very heartwarming. He did not celebrate excitedly for the promotion, but first hugged and shook hands and patted his shoulder to comfort the lost Shang Juncheng, and then Alcaraz wrote in English in front of the camera: "Shang Juncheng, we will fight again! Stay strong, I wish you a speedy recovery!"

Not only that, Alcaraz also gave Shang Juncheng a standing ovation when he left the arena and passed by him. Alcaraz's gesture of kindness also sparked praise from netizens. Many Chinese netizens were moved and said: "Aka is really cute!": "This move is too fan-catching!": "Alcaraz has become a warm man in this field, Shang Juncheng will continue to work hard after seeing the gap!": "Both of them are terrifying, and the future is promising!"

This is also the first time in Alcaraz's career that he has reached the last 16 of the Australian Open, and in the next round, the world No. 2 opponent will be Kecmanovic. We also wish the Spanish man a great way to go further and make a new breakthrough in his career. I also hope that Shang Juncheng will continue to work hard to catch up with the world's top players as soon as possible after recovering from his injury.
