Carlos Alcaraz is a champion tennis player. He has won many tournaments and even lifted two grand slams. However, he still couldn’t find his way onto the ATP list. The Association of Tennis Players recently shared a post of great tennis players at a particular age. However, it excluded Carlos Alcaraz, and he felt left out.
While Alcaraz suffered from FOMO on ATP’s post, he is not the only tennis player who has undergone something similar in the last year. One former tennis star, who was part of the post, has been missing tennis altogether.

Not many young stars reach the fame Alcaraz did before he turned 20. His growth was quick, and he became one of the best players of the current era with fantastic speed. However, he is yet to turn 21. His age meant that he missed out on a post-ATP Tour shared with several players on and off the tour. They asked all players to share an image of when they were 21.
They added a picture of 7 players, and each picture had the caption, “Everyone tap in. Let’s see you at 21”. It included Daniil Medvedev, Roger Federer, Andrey Rublev, Andy Murray, Novak Djoković, Jannik Sinner and Rafael Nadal.
However, Alcaraz, who will turn 21 in May, commented, “Please, Let’s do it in may, when I’m turn 21 😂”. The Spaniard felt disappointed as he could not be featured in the post, but still dropped in a witty comment.
Along with Alcaraz, Federer has also shown signs that he has missed out on the sport after his retirement. However, he has been efforts to stay in touch with tennis.

He stated, “If the body was in top shape, I would probably play a few exhibitions. I still go to the gym four or five times a week and try to get my body back into shape with my knee. That’s why I don’t feel like I’m missing out on anything.” His daily schedule is rigorous to ensure he stays close to tennis. His fear of missing out is evident in his statement, which could also mean a return to an exhibition event one day.
