The tennis community knows about Carlos Alcaraz‘s passion for tattoos. He has already four tattoos, three of which commemorated his wins at the US Open, Wimbledon, and the French Open.
The date of his win at the 2022 US Open was inked on his right elbow. He then had a strawberry tattoo on his right ankle after his 2023 Wimbledon win.
The youngster marked his win at the 2024 French Open by having the Eiffel Tower tattoo on his left ankle. He then wanted to get the Olympics ring tattoo but didn’t because he lost the final to Novak Djokovic. The 21-year-old is now planning to get a kangaroo tattoo if he wins his first Australian Open.
I will get a kangaroo for sure, that’s my idea. The only thing missing is to lift the trophy here but it’s definitely the plan if it happens.

Carlos Alcaraz plays first match at Rod Laver Arena in the 2025 Australian Open
Carlos Alcaraz eased past Alexander Shevchenko and Yoshihito Nishioka in the first and second rounds but dropped a set against his third-round opponent, Nuno Borges. The match inside the Rod Laver Arena on Friday (January 17) saw Alcaraz prevail over the Portuguese with scores of 6-2, 6-4, 6-7(3), 6-2.
After the match, Alcaraz said he missed playing at the Rod Laver Arena. It was his first match on his court in the ongoing tournament, as his previous matches were held at the Margaret Court Arena.
I missed Rod Laver. I’m just really, really happy to be able to play here once again. I tried to show my best tennis here. For me, it has been a pleasure every time that I step on his court. The last time that I played here I lost, so I really wanted to play here and get another win here in Rod Laver.
Carlos Alcaraz said during his on-court interview
The last time Alcaraz played the match at the Rod Laver Arena was in 2024. He reached the quarterfinals where current World No. 2 Alexander Zverev defeated him in four sets. The World No. 3 has never made it past the quarterfinals at Melbourne Park.
