Carlos Alcaraz impressed Jon Rahm with his stunning tee shot at the Open de Espana Pro-Am.After withdrawing from this week’s Shanghai Masters, the tennis world No.1 has thrown himself into another sport, as he joined his compatriot Rahm on the golf course in their home country.GettyAlcaraz and Rahm looked to be enjoying themselves in Madrid[/caption]The Spanish sports stars teamed up for nine holes at the Club de Campo Villa de Madrid, which will play host to the DP World Tour event from Thursday until Sunday.With the Pro Am serving as the tournament’s curtain-raiser, a host of leading golf names were in action, including Masters champion Sergio Garcia and Ryder Cup winner Shane Lowry.Joining Alcaraz among the amateurs was former tennis world No.12, and fellow Spaniard Feliciano Lopez.A keen golfer, the 22-year-old was all smiles as he teed off on Wednesday morning, and he quickly got into his stride. Footage has emerged online showing the two-time Wimbledon champion’s incredibly impressive tee shot.In the clip, Alcaraz sends a sweet drive down the fairway, before walking away with a big grin on his face.He then walks over to speak to Rahm, who appears to give his seal of approval, as the US Open champion continues to smile while listening to him.And Rahm wasn’t the only golf star who was struck by Alcaraz’s ability on the course, with Lowry also sharing his thoughts afterwards.Fresh from Ryder Cup glory in New York last month alongside Rahm, the Irishman reflected on his time with Alcaraz.He said: “I told him his golf isn’t incredible, but it’s much better than my tennis.X: @DPWorldTourAlcaraz wound up and drove his tee shot straight down the fairway[/caption]X: @DPWorldTourThe tennis star wore a huge smile as he went over Rahm afterwards[/caption]“Spending a couple of hours with him, with what he’s already achieved at such a young age, was great.”What has Jon Rahm said about Alcaraz?While Rahm was clearly taken by Alcaraz’s golfing ability, he has been a fan of his tennis career for even longer.Last year, the 2023 Masters champion heaped praise on, as he hailed him for picking up where Rafael Nadal left off as Spain’s new face of tennis.Rahm told Fox: “How do I put this? He’s not a god – he’s a demigod. He’s surely on that path. I don’t think anybody expected this.“As [Rafael] Nadal is coming to an end of his career, to all of a sudden, overnight, Carlos shows up and becomes the greatest next star. It’s so interesting.“All of a sudden, you go from Nadal with 22 Grand Slams and has accomplished all these great things, [then] boom, two years later, this guy has four. It’s absolutely insane.GettyAlcaraz has made golf his favourite passtime in recent months[/caption]“Can’t say enough good things about him. You got a guy that carries himself well, very charismatic. “He’s absolute fire on the court and somebody that definitely provides a lot of entertainment. It’s quite special.”Alcaraz’s Pro-Am linkup with Rahm wasn’t the first time he has mixed it amongst golf’s top brass, having also enjoyed a game with compatriot Sergio Garcia during his run to the US Open title in September.On his way to a sixth Grand Slam title in New York, Alcaraz played golf on most of his days off and celebrated all of his wins by miming a golf swing.In fact, he even revealed that revealed that Garcia owed him £150 for losing their round at the private Deepdale Golf Club on Long Island.Why isn’t Alcaraz playing in the Shanghai Masters?Since his victory at Flushing Meadows, Alcaraz has taken some time out from tennis, and recently withdrew from the Shanghai Masters.GettyAlcaraz has won 18 of his last 19 matches since losing the Wimbledon final in July, with the latest victory coming in the Japan Open final[/caption]Despite winning the Japan Open in September, he suffered an ankle injury along the way, ruling him out of this week’s tournament.Announcing the news on Instagram, Alcaraz wrote: “I’m very disappointed to announce that I won’t be able to play the Rolex Shanghai Masters this year.“Unfortunately, I’ve been struggling with some physical issues and, after discussing with my team, we believe the best decision is to rest and recover. “I was really looking forward to playing in front of the amazing fans in Shanghai again. I hope to be back soon and see my Chinese fans next year.”
