Carlos Alcaraz reveals tattoo plans after winning his second US Open title

“I’m going to do both and obviously the date. Because this one is special, I have to get it tattooed twice. I don’t know if it’s going to be here [on his arm] or on the leg. I’ll have to think about it.”

John McEnroe, reviewing how Sinner couldn’t cope with Alcaraz’s play on Sunday night in New York, remarked on how surprising it is that someone so cheerful off court can be so effective on it.

Carlos Alcaraz’s tattoo plans after every Grand Slam win

Carlos Alcaraz first inked his body with a simple date, marking the occasion of his first US Open and Grand Slam win. But over time, he has expanded his tattoo collection.

After winning Wimbledon the following year, he celebrated with a strawberry tattoo on his right ankle and later decided to add the date next to it after defending his title in 2024.

He then won the French Open for the first time in that same year and marked it with an Eiffel Tower tattoo. He said at the time that he would only get one symbol per major title.

But now that he’s already talked about making two tattoos for this year’s US Open, if he keeps up this pace, he could be covered in tattoos within a decade.
