Carlos Alcaraz’s obsession: “I want to get the Australian title tattooed”

Carlos Alcaraz hopes that 2025 “will come stronger” than this year for him and, after winning this season Roland Garros, Wimbledon, the Masters 1,000 in Indian Wells and the ATP 500 in Beijing, in addition to the Olympic silver in the Olympic Games, he puts the focus on winning the Australian Open, the only Grand Slam he is missing.

Alcaraz, after the formal thanks, admitted that it is “an honor” to receive this award in his homeland and acknowledged that 2024 was “a year of ups and downs” but he keeps “the good” because it is “positive.” “I still get excited when I see the videos of Roland Garros and Wimbledon,” he declared, according to EFE.

Furthermore, although tennis is an individual sport, he highlighted that “there is a team behind it and this is also for the people who encourage me every day.”

“May 2025 come stronger. I am a very ambitious boy and I want more and Australia is what I want to tattoo even though my father doesn’t like it very much. Being champion there is my main goal for next season.”he stated.

Alcaraz is already thinking about what is coming. “I’m starting a hard month of training but being at home for Christmas and New Year is wonderful and gives me a break,” said the El Palmar tennis player.
