(VIDEO): Carlos Alcaraz gets new tattoo to celebrate French Open win

Alcaraz’s season improved recently when he defeated the former world number one Serbia’s legendary tennis star Novak Djokovic in the final in straight sets with a score of 6-2, 6-2, 7-6. The win was a special one as the four-time Grand Slam winner defended the title at an iconic venue, that too against a player of Djokovic’s class. It is the first time in his young career where Alcaraz won as many as two Grand Slams in a calendar year. The El Palmar-born won his first major title after beating Norway’s Casper Ruud in the final of the US Open in 2022 with a score of 6–4, 2–6, 7–6(7–1), 6–3.

Last year in 2023, Alcaraz clinched his second Grand Slam title as he defeated Djokovic in a five-set thriller with a score of 1–6, 7–6(8–6), 6–1, 3–6, 6–4. Alcaraz, this season, had a slow start but managed to gain the much-needed momentum after few frustrating performances. Before winning the French Open, the current world number three lifted the Indian Wells after beating Russia’s Daniil Medvedev in the final in straight sets with a score of 7-6, 6-1.
