The Spaniard\u2019s latest victory came over a friend of his, with Alcaraz beating childhood friend Luca Nardi<\/a>.<\/p>\n However, one of the main talking points from the match actually came when Alcaraz<\/a> was clearly irritated by what the umpire had told him.<\/p>\n It is rare to see Alcaraz looking frustrated on court<\/a>, and while it was not his tennis that was causing any of this, something that umpire Greg Allensworth told him certainly did.<\/p>\n At the change of ends during the match, Alcaraz was told that he needed to cover up the logo on his water bottle. <\/p>\n The logo on Alcaraz\u2019s bottle was Evian, a company that he is sponsored by, but this is not something he was willing to do.<\/p>\n During his exchange with Allensworth, Alcaraz told the umpire that it was his fault and refused to cover the bottle as requested.<\/p>\n Allensworth told Alcaraz, \u201cWe\u2019ve been told because of the logos and the sponsors.\u201d<\/p>\n Alcaraz responded, \u201cIt wasn\u2019t my fault, it wasn\u2019t my fault. Why should we cover this (points to water bottle), because it wasn\u2019t my fault.\u201d<\/p>\n Allensworth: \u201cIn all honesty I would have had you cover it up anyway.\u201d<\/p>\n Alcaraz: \u201cIt wasn\u2019t my fault, why you have to cover it if it wasn\u2019t my fault.\u201d<\/p>\n Allensworth: \u201cIt\u2019s my fault\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n Alcaraz: \u201cSo because of your fault I have to cover it\u2026you know it doesn\u2019t work like this. It was your fault, it\u2019s always your fault and then I have to pay for that because of your fault\u2026I\u2019m not going to cover it.\u201d<\/p>\n Carlos Alcaraz matches Rafael Nadal and Pete Sampras record at the Cincinnati Open<\/p>\n Despite his frustrations concerning the incident with Allensworth, Alcaraz continues to make history after his, 6-1 6-4, victory over Nardi.<\/p>\n Following Alcaraz\u2019s victories at the Italian Open<\/a> and Monte Carlo Masters<\/a> earlier this year, he has now won 14 consecutive matches at Masters 1000 tournaments.<\/p>\n The last time that he lost a Masters 1000 match was at the Miami Open<\/a>, where Alcaraz was stunned by David Goffin<\/a>.<\/p>\n This means that he has matched both Rafael Nadal<\/a> and Pete Sampras<\/a>, as one of only three players under the age of 23 to have achieved this feat.<\/p>\n Nadal went on to win 18 consecutive matches on his run, while Sampras won 17 in a row, meaning that Alcaraz will need to win the Cincinnati Open<\/a> title for the first time to match the American.<\/p>\n![\"Luca](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/GettyImages-2230033257-1024x682.jpg\")
