Carlos Alcaraz, the world number 3, is considering commemorating a potential Olympic gold medal with a new tattoo. The Spanish tennis star has a tradition of marking his significant victories with tattoos, already sporting ones for his first three Grand Slam wins: the U.S. Open, Wimbledon, and the French Open. Recently, he added a large Eiffel Tower above his left ankle.
“If I win on Sunday, we will see, but most likely yes. But there is one step left, there is a match that is a great mountain,” the 21-year-old said on Friday after defeating Canadian Felix Auger-Aliassime in the semifinals.
Alcaraz will face either top-seeded Novak Djokovic or Italian Lorenzo Musetti in the final. As he eyes his first Olympic gold, the prospect of another tattoo looms, symbolizing his extraordinary achievements and continued ascent in the world of tennis.
