Carlos Alcaraz had just achieved one of the biggest wins of his season, defeating Novak Djokovic in the semifinals of the US Open 2025, when he received a surprise visit in the locker room from NBA star and close friend Jimmy Butler. The Golden State Warriors forward greeted Alcaraz with a warm hug and congratulated him on his hard-fought victory.
In a moment captured on video, Butler told the 22-year-old tennis sensation, “I gotta come see you. I told you, I'm trying to be a better friend. Next summer, I'm coming to Wimbledon.” Alcaraz laughed at the comment, clearly enjoying the heartfelt and humorous exchange between the two.
The meeting was a touching reminder of the growing friendship between stars from different sporting worlds. Butler, known for his competitive fire and strong relationships off the court, has followed Alcaraz’s rise closely and often attends his matches when possible. Their camaraderie has become well-known among fans, with Butler often showing up at tournaments to support the young Spaniard.
And if Butler keeps his word, we may just see him courtside at Wimbledon next year, cheering his friend on from the grass.
