Carlos Alcaraz, the Spanish tennis sensation and reigning world No. 1, has recently made headlines not just for his astonishing talent on the court but also for a personal tribute that will forever remain etched on his skin. Following his celebrated victories at the U.S. Open in both 2022 and 2023, Alcaraz decided to commemorate these remarkable achievements with two tattoos: one of the iconic Statue of Liberty and another of the Brooklyn Bridge.
In a heartfelt moment during his post-match press conference after triumphing over Jannik Sinner in the summer final, Alcaraz shared his plans for the tattoos. “I had a bet at the beginning of the tournament: the Brooklyn Bridge. And obviously the Statue of Liberty. I’m gonna do both. And the date. Because this one is special. I have to get a tattoo twice,” he stated, reflecting on the significance of the moment.
Alcaraz not only has the U.S. Open tattoos but has also inked a strawberry on his body in celebration of his back-to-back Wimbledon titles in 2023 and 2024. Additionally, he sports an image of the Eiffel Tower to recognize his victories at the French Open for 2024 and 2025. His ambition to complete his collection remains strong, as he has yet to secure the Australian Open trophy.
“I will get a kangaroo tattoo for sure — that’s my idea,” Alcaraz expressed during an interview at the 2025 Australian Open, where he faced Novak Djokovic in the quarterfinals. “The only thing missing is to lift the trophy here, but it’s definitely the plan if it happens.”
With a string of impressive performances and key victories under his belt, Alcaraz continues to shape a legacy that blends athletic prowess with personal significance. His tattoos serve as lasting reminders of these monumental milestones in his career, each one a symbol of the determination and passion that drives him forward in the world of tennis. As he strives for more Grand Slam titles, fans can only wait to see how many more tattoos he will add to his collection in the years to come.
