"I’ve seen him play several times. I have a lot of respect for him, after all he’s a legend of his sport, a star, and the fact that he comes to see me is a privilege," Alcaraz said in statements to the ATP.
"It's complicated due to the calendar, but yes, I like Miami, the Lakers and some other teams," said Alcaraz, who also recognized that he's not bad at basketball.
