Carlos Alcaraz is in Australia for the season’s first Grand Slam event. Before the tournament, Alcaraz participated in an exhibition event on Wednesday. He faced local man Alex de Minaur and lost with scores of 7-5, 4-6(10-5).
During the post-match interview, Alcaraz entertained the crowd at the Rod Laver Arena with his answers to former player Andrea Petkovic‘s questions about ‘engagement’. De Minuar, during the off-season, got engaged to British No.1 Katie Boulter after dating for almost five years.
Apart from them, Casper Ruud and Felix Auger-Aliassime also got engaged. When Petkovic brought up De Minaur’s engagement during the interview, Alcaraz said he had already congratulated the Aussie but wished him again in front of the packed crowd. Alcaraz however, had nothing much to say on matters about relationship, for he is just 21.
But no, I’ve seen them in the tournaments. I mean, I don’t know Katie very much but it seems that she’s a very nice person so I think you’re going to enjoy this marriage, hopefully, everything is going to be good. And yeah, congratulations! As you said, I’m too young to talk.
Carlos Alcaraz said
Petkovic didn’t end there. She asked the youngster from Spain if he is still ‘single’ and is ‘on the market’. To this, Alcaraz expressed his hope to find a girlfriend in 2025.
Who knows this year? No engagement so far, single so far. But these holidays, three or four tennis players got engaged. I thought it was my turn.
Carlos Alcaraz added
Last year, during a fun interaction with magician Daniel Fernandez, Alcaraz was asked about his future wife’s name, to which he said, ‘Maria’. Some reports in the past have linked Alcaraz to Maria Gonzalez Gimenez, who, as per rumors, has represented Murcia Tennis Club.
Carlos Alcaraz reveals the reason behind a new haircut
Carlos Alcaraz has made headlines in the past due to his haircuts which have always sparked mixed reactions. This time, to keep himself cool while playing under the scorching sun in Australia, Alcaraz sported a fade haircut. His barber, Victor, unveiled his new hairstyle on social media a few days ago.
I mean, New Year, I knew that I was going to be here in Australia. It’s 40 degrees, it’s hot out here, so I thought that I needed something new, you know?

Alcaraz skipped the Brisbane International and the ongoing ASB Classic. Without enough match practice, the Spaniard will be participating at the Australian Open where he has never reached the final. In 2024, the four-time Grand Slam champion advanced to the quarterfinals and lost to Alexander Zverev in straight sets.
