Video - Alcaraz's First Steps at the "Paris La Défense Arena"

Under the spotlights of the brand new Paris La Défense Arena, Carlos Alcaraz had his first practice hits ahead of the tournament.

This Friday, the Paris La Défense Arena buzzed with the sound of Carlos Alcaraz's shots, as he came for his first training session at this new venue for the 2025 Rolex Paris Masters.

The Spaniard wasn't alone on the court: Karen Khachanov, the 2018 event winner, shared the practice session with him.

After a US Open title and a return to the world number one spot, Alcaraz seems more motivated than ever. His goal is clear: to win this indoor Paris Masters 1000 for the first time.
