World No. 1 Carlos Alcaraz has a bulls-eye on his back as the man the rest of the ATP pack chases.

Over the weekend, Alcaraz was a floating force with some of his rivals.

Alcaraz, world No. 2 Jannik Sinner, Daniil Medvedev and Andrey Rublev took a fishing trip together before the start of this week’s Qatar ExxonMobil Open.

The tournament, noting no AI involvement, posted these images of the fishing foursome with Alcaraz apparently reeling in the biggest catch of all.

The 22-year-old Spaniard caught a milestone on court in Doha today defeating Arthur Rinderknech, 6-4, 7-6(5) to reel in his 150th career hard-court victory.
