Carlos Alcaraz is thinking about his next tattoo, and he’s got a plan for it.
Right now, he’s in Turin for the ATP Finals, a big tournament he hasn’t won yet. Even though it’s important, he’s not worried about feeling nervous before his match against Casper Ruud. After this event, he’ll wrap up his season at the Davis Cup Finals, which will be Rafael Nadal’s last professional event. Alcaraz hopes Nadal finishes with a win because it feels like destiny.
Next year brings new adventures ! Alcaraz will rest during the off-season and then aim to shine at the Australian Open in 2025. This tournament holds special significance as it’s the only Grand Slam title missing from his collection. He already has Wimbledon (twice), US Open, and French Open titles under his belt.

Alcaraz’s Tattoo Journey:
Each major victory has inspired a tattoo for Alcaraz. After winning the 2022 US Open, he inked “Cabeza, Corazon, cajones,” honoring his grandfather’s motto. For Wimbledon 2023, after beating Djokovic in the final, he chose a strawberry tattoo on his ankle—a nod to Wimbledon’s strawberry tradition. And when he claimed the French Open title this year? A tattoo of the Eiffel Tower appeared on him.
So what’s next? If he wins in Australia someday, there’s a kangaroo tattoo waiting to happen! He shared with Marca that taking time off is crucial before diving into another intense season.
Fans might think it’s cool how each tattoo tells a story of triumph!
Interestingly enough, tattoos are reserved strictly for Grand Slam wins—no exceptions even for other prestigious tournaments like Paris Masters or ATP Finals. Despite indoor courts being tricky for him historically, Juan Carlos Ferrero set up an ATP-style court to help him prepare better this time around.
