After arriving in Rome for the first time in his career on Thursday, Alcaraz soon took to the practice courts. He entered the wrong gate initially. Soon realising his mistake, he proceeded towards the correct gate.

However on the way, he was approached by waiting fans to sign autographs. The Spaniard didn’t take time to oblige to the request and proceeded towards the courts. Irked by his act one woman from the crowd called him “pezzo di merda” in Italian. It roughly translates to “piece of shit”.

The 20-year old turned back only to laugh it off and continued to walk towards the designated practice court. This incident was recorded by the Tennis TV and was posted on its official Twitter handle.
