"Everything Carlos Alcaraz does is so funny";"In his brat era" - Fans delighted by Spaniard hilariously 'huffing' smelling salts during Paris Masters

Carlos Alcaraz sniffing smelling salts and getting a jolt during his second-round match at the 2024 Paris Masters has sparked amusing reactions from tennis fans. Alcaraz comfortably dealt with Nicolas Jarry 7-5, 6-1 to reach the third round of the final Masters 1000 event of the year.

However, a hilarious moment involving the Spaniard was caught on camera during one of the changeovers. The 21-year-old was seen sniffing something from a bottle which gave a huge jolt to his body, leaving a smile on his face. The substance was smelling salts, which are used by athletes for their stimulating effects, which may help them enhance their alertness.

Fans of the Spaniard were left in splits and reacted to the incident on Reddit. One fan found everything the World No. 2 did funny.

"Everything he does is so funny to me. I love him sm!" the fan said.

Another fan joked about how Carlos Alcaraz was in his 'brat era', which is a cultural phenomenon that sent the world into a frenzy. The catalyst of this phenomenon was popular singer Charlie XCX's album 'Brat'.

"Hes in his brat era too," the fan quipped.

Here are some other reactions from the fans:

"Carlitos huffing glue," a fan joked.

"Torturing himself then laughing about it. Classic Carlos," a fan was amused.

Carlos Alcaraz will face 15th seed and home favorite Ugo Humbert in the third round of the 2024 Paris Masters. The Frenchman ousted Brandon Nakashima in the opening round and followed it up with a resounding 6-3, 6-2 win against Marcos Giron. The Spaniard leads their head-to-head 2-0.

Alcaraz was eliminated in the second round last year after he was defeated by Roman Safiullin in straight sets. However, with the defending champion Novak Djokovic and the World No. 1 Jannik Sinner out, the Spaniard will fancy his chances to win the title.

Carlos Alcaraz has had quite a topsy-turvy season this year. While he started off slow, the Spaniard bounced back to win the Indian Wells Masters, the French Open, Wimbledon, and the Olympic silver.

However, his form took a dip again and he struggled during the North American hard-court swing. He came back to win the China Open after defeating his rival Jannik Sinner in a three-set thriller.
