Alcaraz shook his fist in the air a couple times as the crowd roared. Curry, sitting in the Arthur Ashe Stadium seats between wife Ayesha and his father, Dell, raised his arms and then rested his hands on his head.
Curry, the NBA’s career leader in 3-pointers, was back in the seats after women’s final.
Alcaraz will be playing in Curry’s home arena later this month. He is set to play for Team Europe in the Laver Cup competition at the Golden State Warriors’ Chase Center in San Francisco.
