Carlos Alcaraz painted his body with ink to commemorate his special victories! But it is not done yet. After his Roland Garros victory last month, he talked about getting an Eiffel Tower tattoo on his left ankle to celebrate his first win at the clay-court major event.
He has a tattoo of the date, ‘11.09.22’ after his first Grand Slam victory at the 2022 US Open and the tattoo on his left wrist pays tribute to his grandfather. There’s also a strawberry-shaped tattoo on his right ankle with a date to commemorate his first Wimbledon victory in 2023, which he won by beating Novak Djokovic in the final.
In this year’s Roland Garros final, Alcaraz overcame a tough challenge from Alexander Zverev to become the youngest player to win major titles on all three surfaces. After the match, he was asked about his next tattoo.
I have to find the time. But I'll do it for sure. It's going to be on the left ankle. Wimbledon was the right one. Here it's going to be the left one, I think, with the Eiffel Tower, with the date.Carlos Alcaraz said after his French Open victory
Following his back-to-back Grand Slam victories, Alcaraz has finally found the time to have the Eiffel Tower tattooed on his left ankle. On July 19, in a video that has been going viral all over social media, Alcaraz proudly showed off his new tattoo.

Carlos Alcaraz is planning to get two more tattoos but needs parents’ permission
Although Carlos Alcaraz has inked the Eiffel Tower on his left ankle, he needs his parents’ permission to get another one to celebrate this year’s Wimbledon victory. His second Wimbledon final win over Novak Djokovic was a big moment for him, so he wants to ink the date right next to last year’s date.
I told my parents, just to calm them, that it’s just the first one in every major. But this is a huge moment. I'm probably going to put the date of this one to last year's. I have to discuss it with them.Carlos Alcaraz told Tennis Channel
And when he was quizzed by Spanish media Marca about whether he would get a tattoo if he wins Olympic gold, the 21-year-old’s answer was: “Without a doubt, the rings with the date Paris 24, one hundred percent.“
Alcaraz will join Rafael Nadal for the doubles event at the Paris Olympics. The tennis event will be held at the Roland Garros, starting July 27.
