Alcaraz raises concerns over player privacy at Tournaments

Carlos Alcaraz has spoken about the growing presence of cameras at tournaments, saying players are being filmed too closely and too often.

Speaking on the issue, Alcaraz said:

“We don’t have much privacy in tournaments, & I think this is too much. We should have spaces where we can be alone without being filmed.”

He acknowledged that fans enjoy behind-the-scenes access, but explained how it affects players:

“For the fans, it’s great. They love to see what happens behind the scenes, what we do, how the facilities are inside the tournaments. But for the players, it’s a bit strange because we no longer have a place to relax, as we are constantly thinking that there are cameras and everyone is watching us.”

Alcaraz also pointed to how close the coverage has become:

“Having cameras so close, being able to see what we are seeing on our phones, seems excessive to me. Already, we don’t have much privacy in tournaments, and I think this is too much. We should have spaces where we can be alone without being filmed.”

His comments highlight a growing discussion around access and privacy in professional tennis.
