Carlos Alcaraz reveals his tattoo plan if he wins the Australian Open 2025
Carlos Alcaraz has revealed what tattoo he plans on getting if he wins his maiden Australian Open title in 2025. The Spaniard has made it a habit to celebrate each Grand Slam win with a tattoo so far.
Alcaraz will be chasing a Career Grand Slam when he competes at the Australian Open in 2025. The Spanish star has won the French Open, the Wimbledon, and the US Open but is yet to claim an Australian Open title.
Speaking to Marca, Alcaraz revealed that he plans on getting a Kangaroo tattoo if he wins the Australian Open. However, the Spaniard further added that he hopes to get rest during the off-season to be completely ready for the first Grand Slam of the year in 2025.
“I have it in mind, I have in mind to get a tattoo of the kangaroo. I’m going to try to have a good holiday first. For me it’s super important to be able to disconnect from tennis and to come back fresh for the pre-season so that it’s brilliant, brutal, to arrive in Australia in the best possible shape both tennis-wise, physically and mentally,” Carlos Alcaraz said.
