Video shows Alcaraz asking cameraman to move away before vomiting

Carlos Alcaraz's US Open 2026 title defence ended in a five-set quarter-final loss to Ben Shelton. During a changeover, the visibly exhausted Spaniard repeatedly gestured for a cameraman filming him up close to move away. When the camera remained nearby, Alcaraz covered his face with a towel and vomited, sparking debate among fans over athlete privacy and coverage.
