Spain’s young tennis sensation gets a new tattoo to celebrate his win at the Roland Garros. The 21-year-old is already regarded as one of the best players currently playing in men’s tennis, along with Italy’s Jannik Sinner and Serbia’s Novak Djokovic.
Alcaraz, who won the French Open title for the first time in his career after beating Germany’s Alexander Zverev in the final in another five-set thrilling contest with a score of 6–3, 2–6, 5–7, 6–1, 6–2 earlier this year, celebrated the triumph is some style. In a video shared on the social media platform X—previously known as Twitter—the former world number one can be seen getting a tattoo to celebrate the win at the Roland Garros.
Alcaraz’s season improved recently when he defeated the former world number one Serbia’s legendary tennis star Novak Djokovic in the final in straight sets with a score of 6-2, 6-2, 7-6. The win was a special one as the four-time Grand Slam winner defended the title at an iconic venue, that too against a player of Djokovic’s class. It is the first time in his young career where Alcaraz won as many as two Grand Slams in a calendar year. The El Palmar-born won his first major title after beating Norway’s Casper Ruud in the final of the US Open in 2022 with a score of 6–4, 2–6, 7–6(7–1), 6–3.
Last year in 2023, Alcaraz clinched his second Grand Slam title as he defeated Djokovic in a five-set thriller with a score of 1–6, 7–6(8–6), 6–1, 3–6, 6–4. Alcaraz, this season, had a slow start but managed to gain the much-needed momentum after few frustrating performances. Before winning the French Open, the current world number three lifted the Indian Wells after beating Russia’s Daniil Medvedev in the final in straight sets with a score of 7-6, 6-1.
