"I will say… umm… Maria": Carlos Alcaraz discloses name of future wife

Spain’s Carlos Alcaraz has hesitantly revealed the name of his future wife. The 21-year-old is already regarded as one of the best players currently playing in men’s tennis in the singles category.

In a video that was shared on the social media platform X — previously known as Twitter — Alcaraz has been asked about the name of his hypothetical wife in the future. In response to that, the reigning world number three hesitantly stated: “Ahhh, what’s my wife’s name? I’m not sure? I will say… umm… Maria.” Alcaraz was also asked about when he sees himself playing, to which he responded that he expects himself to retire after the 2037 Wimbledon. “It’s 2024, I’m 21, 2037? Maybe 2034 or 2035,” he said. “No I’ll change it. 2037! Yes that’s the last one. Wimbledon.”

Alcaraz had an impressive season, winning two out of four Grand Slams. He first lifted the French Open after beating Germany’s Alexander Zverev in a five-set thriller with a score of 6–3, 2–6, 5–7, 6–1, 6–2. He then lifted the Wimbledon title after beating former world number one Serbia’s Novak Djokovic in the final in straight sets with a score of 6-2, 6-2, 7-6.

Alcaraz also won a silver medal for his country in the Paris Olympics. He lost in straight sets to Djokovic in the final of the singles category event with a score of 7-6, 7-6. Alcaraz’s season ended on a rather disappointing note. His final appearance was in the ATP Finals in Turin where he was knocked from the first round after losing two out of three matches. He lost to Norway’s Casper Ruud in the first match in straight sets with a score of 6-1, 7-5. He then lost to Zverev in the third match in straight sets with a score of 7-6, 6-4. His last title this year was the China Open where he defeated reigning world number one Italy’s Jannik Sinner in the final with a score of 6-7, 6-4, 7-6.
