French Open Champion Carlos Alcaraz Drops Shocking Tattoo Confession After Historic Win

Carlos Alcaraz’s reign on the Roland Garros clay seemed all but over when world No. 1 Jannik Sinner served for the championship at 5-3 in the fourth set. But the 22-year-old Spaniard refused to back down, mounting a remarkable comeback to win 4-6, 6-7 (4-7), 6-4, 7-6 (7-3), 7-6 (10-2) in five hours and 29 minutes, the longest French Open final in history. In a charged atmosphere on Court Philippe-Chatrier, Alcaraz delivered what many are calling the finest performance of his career to clinch his fifth Grand Slam title. You know what this means? Is it time for another tattoo?

The Spaniard has developed a tradition of commemorating his Grand Slam victories with ink. After winning the US Open in 2022, he got the date of his triumph and the initials “CCC”—short for “cabeza, corazón, cojones” (head, heart, and b-lls), a mantra from his grandfather, tattooed on his elbow.

Following his Wimbledon title in 2023, he chose a strawberry tattoo on his right leg, a nod to the iconic strawberries and cream of the All England Club. And after capturing his first Roland Garros crown in 2024, he marked the moment with an Eiffel Tower tattoo on his left leg, symbolizing the city of Paris.

Earlier this year, Carlos Alcaraz had said he would get a kangaroo tattoo if he managed to win the Australian Open–the only Slam missing from his collection. However, that dream was halted in the quarterfinals by 24-time Grand Slam champion Novak Djokovic, who beat him in four sets. As of now, Alcaraz has three tattoos, each representing a major title he’s won. He didn’t get a tattoo after defending his title at Wimbledon again in 2024. However, after successfully defending his Roland Garros crown, speculation began over whether a fourth tattoo was on the way. When asked about it in his post-match interview, the Spaniard laughed and said, “I mean… I have to ask my father.”
