Last season Alcarez won five titles (out of six in his career), won his first US Grand Slam title, lifted the trophies at the prestigious Masters 1000 tournaments in Madrid and Miami, and set a series of records for his age. "Self-confidence, for me, is being yourself, no matter what What," Alcarez said in the black-and-white video. "I'm still looking for myself, and I'm okay with that.
This is who I am."
According to "Forbes", just last year he brought in $10.9 million, which placed him in tenth place on the list of top-earning tennis players in the world (a list led by Roger Federer, Naomi Osaka, Serena Williams and Rafael Nadal), with 5 out of his income The $1 million comes from off-field deals. "The powerful black-and-white visuals emphasize Carlos' strength and confidence and evoke the well-known sensuality that the brand is known for," the brand wrote.

The Spaniard is trying to get back on the winning track after winning in the United States but recently announced his withdrawal from the Australian Open due to a leg injury during training, an injury that came after Alcazaba was forced to retire in the finals of the tour in Turin due to an abdominal injury.
As expected, the social networks were quick to react violently to the photos and the campaign, with some of the reactions, as always, congratulatory and on the other hand mean and negative.
It seems that many of the women who viewed the photos complimented the tennis player on his impressive appearance and shapely body, but among tennis fans there was quite a bit of criticism.
"He's only 19 years old!", wrote many of the commenters, "and he's already dealing with such nonsense?", or "young guy, train more and take less pictures", especially when he misses the season in Australia.
Others argued that the pictures of him in his underwear were too revealing, including one commenter who claimed that "one close-up is too close" to his modesty.
An argument developed between the commenters, which quickly led to a discussion about gender issues, and among other things it was written: "If this was a 19-year-old girl, of course you would be okay with that?".
It should be noted that this is a young man who is just starting to deal with fame.
"I tell everyone that I don't consider myself famous. When I'm recognized, I take it easy," he said, "Sometimes I find it hard to believe that all of this is really happening."
