Former American tennis player Sam Querrey has recently upped his social media game a lot since retiring from the sport in 2022. Besides consistently creating content on social media, he also plays pickleball, and he is one of the top 15 players in the world.
Well, a package has been going viral on X (formerly Twitter) recently, which is an extension of the Netflix slam that will be played between Rafael Nadal and Carlos Alcaraz on March 3 in Las Vegas. It claims that interested fans can have a 1-on-1 tennis session with either Nadal or Alcaraz for $150,000.
Sam Querrey expressed his surprise upon seeing these numbers in a hilarious video that he posted on his social media accounts.
I think a lot of people have seen this little package that is going around the internet about this upcoming Netflix slam. If you want to hit with Alcaraz or Nadal, it’s 150 grand. If you want to hit with Isner and myself, it’s $2000. It’s the steal of the century. Sam Querrey said
The American went on to mention an exaggerated list of things he would do for $150,000.
But let me tell you what you’ll get from me for $150,000. I’ll walk your dog, I’ll teach you how to fold your laundry, and I’ll even give you a psychological lesson on how not to win a major. I’ll do your taxes, I’ll make you some lunch, and I’ll teach you how to make amazing social media content. I’ll even tuck you in at night. And since you won’t be winning a slam, I’ll teach you the next best thing: how to play pickleball. Continuing further, he added
Carlos Alcaraz set to face Rafael Nadal despite ankle injury
Talking about the Netflix Slam, i.e., the match between Rafael Nadal and Carlos Alcaraz, it will take place at the Michelob Ultra Arena and will be streamed on Netflix.
Nadal is currently at the Indian Wells tennis garden, preparing for the BNP Paribas Open. He’ll travel to Las Vegas ahead of the match, and it’ll be good practice for him ahead of the ATP 1000 event.
The situation is much more challenging for Carlos Alcaraz, though. He recently suffered a second-grade ankle injury during the first round of the Rio Open against Thiago Monteiro and is still yet to fully recover from it.
Yet he has decided to risk it by playing in the exhibition match. It might have dangerous consequences, and that too right before the Indian Wells.
