Carlos Alcaraz is 21 but has been etching his name in record books with his victories in Grand Slam events. He became the youngest player to win majors on each surface when he lifted the French Open this year.
Alcaraz became a Grand Slam champion in the 2022 US Open, after which, he won Wimbledon the next year by upsetting Novak Djokovic. Following his first French Open, he denied Djokovic his 25th Grand Slam title by beating him again in the Wimbledon final.
The only title that he is yet to win is the Australian Open. Alcaraz is in Turin for the ATP Finals and ahead of his first group-stage match, he talked about his goal of completing the Career Grand Slam and the tattoo that he would have after his first Australian Open win.
I had it in mind, I have in mind to get a tattoo of the kangaroo. I’m going to try to have a good holiday first. For me, it’s super important to be able to disconnect from tennis. And to come back fresh for the pre-season so that it’s brilliant, brutal, to arrive in Australia in the best possible shape both tennis-wise, physically, and mentally. The goal is to complete the ‘Grand Slam’ in Melbourne.
Carlos Alcaraz said during an interview with Marca
Alcaraz has four tattoos so far. One is a three C’s tattoo and the other three commemorated his first victory at the US Open, Wimbledon, and French Open. He also revealed his plans to have a tattoo of five Olympic rings, but as he lost to Djokovic in the final of the Paris Olympics, he did not paint his body again.
Carlos Alcaraz is set to lock horns with Alexander Zverev
The ATP Finals in Turin kick-started on November 9 and Carlos Alcaraz is set to play his first match on November 10. He will be up against Alexander Zverev, against whom he has won five matches in their 10 encounters.
They met thrice this season. Zverev defeated the Murcia native in the quarterfinals of the Australian Open, but Alcaraz avenged the defeat in the quarterfinals of the Indian Wells before winning the title. Their last meeting was in the final of the French Open where Alcaraz secured the win in five sets.
Alcaraz will be bidding to win his first title in the year-end event and will enter the tournament as the third seed. Zverev, the second seed, has already clinched the trophy twice (in 2018 and 2021).
