Carlos Alcaraz has continued his unique tradition of marking each Grand Slam triumph with a tattoo. The 22-year-old Spaniard, who has already collected six Major titles, revealed his latest ink following his 2025 US Open victory.
The New York design
On Sunday, Alcaraz shared a photo of his new tattoo featuring the Brooklyn Bridge and the Statue of Liberty, a clear nod to New York City. The design commemorates his second US Open crown and adds to the collection of tattoos he has dedicated to Paris and London for his French Open and Wimbledon victories.
Struggles at the Australian Open
While Alcaraz has enjoyed success in Europe and the United States, the Australian Open remains elusive. He has never advanced beyond the quarterfinals in Melbourne. In late 2024, he admitted he wanted his next tattoo to be a kangaroo, symbolizing his ambition to finally conquer the first Grand Slam of the year.
Tattoos as part of his persona
Alcaraz’s body art has become a talking point among fans, much like his bold haircuts. In March, he surprised supporters at Indian Wells with a temporary tattoo displaying the numbers “23-4-25,” which later revealed the release date of his Netflix documentary Carlos Alcaraz: My Way. Netflix teased the project with the caption: “New tattoo means new title: The documentary ‘Carlos Alcaraz: My Way’ arrives on Netflix on April 23 #AlcarazNetflix.”
A dominant 2025 season
Alcaraz capped off 2025 as the World No. 1, finishing with a record of 71-9 and eight singles titles. His season was marked by consistency and brilliance, reinforcing his status as the sport’s leading figure.
Off-season drama
Despite his success, Alcaraz’s off-season has been turbulent. He parted ways with his long-time coach Juan Carlos Ferrero, a move that shocked the tennis world. Reports suggest contract negotiations broke down suddenly, leaving Alcaraz to chart a new course for 2026.
With his latest tattoo celebrating New York and his eyes set on Melbourne, Alcaraz continues to blend personal expression with professional ambition. Fans will be watching closely to see if he can add an Australian Open title to his collection — and perhaps another tattoo to his arm.
Carlos Alcaraz in 2025
Ranked no.1, Carlos played his last match on the 16th of November when he was overcome by world no.2 Jannik Sinner 7-6(4) 7-5 in the final in the Nitto ATP Finals (draw).
This season Alcaraz has a 71-9 record. The Spaniard conquered 8 titles in 2025 in Rotterdam, Monte-Carlo, Rome, French Open, London, Cincinnati, U.S. Open and Tokyo. The Spaniard got to the final in Barcelona, Wimbledon and the Nitto ATP Finals.
