Carlos Alcaraz had a lovely interview with the Tennis Channel after he won his first-round match at Wimbledon against Jeremy Chardy. During the interview, Martina Navratilova asked Carlos about a tattoo that he had after winning the U.S. Open title in September 2021. Martina asked him if the tattoo was done to honor his first slam title or for the fact that on the same day, the Spanish sensation became the new world number one. Carlos Alcaraz confirms that he had that tattoo in order to honor both achievements, and he does not think that he will add any more ink to his arm if he wins more majors. Here is the video.
