Charlize Theron Enjoys a Day in Tennis Paradise, Watches Carlos Alcaraz Win Against Friendly Rival Jannik Sinner

Charlize Theron watches exciting semifinal match between Jannik Sinner, of Italy, and Carlos Alcaraz, of Spain, at the BNP Paribas Open tennis tournament on Saturday (March 18) in California’s Indian Wells Tennis Garden.

The 47-year-old actress is a huge tennis fan and has been to many tournaments around the world throughout the years.

“I love tennis,” Charlize has said. “But I’m a horrible player.”

Carlos, 19, beat friendly rival Jannik, 21, in two straight sets, 7-6 (4), 6-3. He will face Russia’s Daniil Medvedev in Sunday’s final and with a win, will take back the #1 ranking from Novak Djokovic.

“I know if I win tomorrow I’m going to become the No. 1, [but] I will try not to think about that,” said Carlos. “[I will] just think about the things that I have to do. I would say it is going to be a really tactical match against Daniil… I have to make everything perfect. That’s all I’m going to think [about] tomorrow.”

Bill Gates was also in attendance at the match and also watched Carlos defeat 22-year-old Canadian Felix Auger-Aliassime on Thursday.
