Carlos Alcaraz Seeks Father’s Approval for Tattoo After French Open 2025 Win
After his historic 4-6, 6-7(4), 6-4, 7-6(3), 7-6(2) comeback victory over Jannik Sinner in the French Open 2025 final on June 8, Carlos Alcaraz revealed he needs to consult his father, Carlos Alcaraz González, before commemorating the triumph with a new tattoo. The 22-year-old Spaniard, who defended his Roland Garros title in a five-hour, 29-minute epic, told commentators, “I mean… I have to ask my father,” when asked about his plans for new ink, prompting laughter and endearing reactions from fans on X, with @MissSassbox noting, “Doing big adult things as a 22-year-old but still” checking with his dad.
Alcaraz, who earned £2.13 million (€2.55 million) for the win, already has tattoos marking his 2022 US Open (the date), 2023 and 2024 Wimbledon titles (a strawberry), and 2024 French Open (an Eiffel Tower), per Express.co.uk. He mentioned earlier in 2025 at the Australian Open that a kangaroo tattoo is planned if he wins there, but any new design requires his father’s green light, reflecting their close bond, per The Mirror. His father, a former tennis coach at Real Sociedad Club de Campo de Murcia, has been a key influence, alongside coach Juan Carlos Ferrero, whom Alcaraz calls a “second father,” per Wikipedia.[](https://www.express.co.uk/sport/tennis/2066086/Carlos-Alcaraz-French-Open)[](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carlos_Alcaraz)
Fans found the moment charming, with @TheTennisLetter joking about Alcaraz’s deference to his father despite his global stardom. The decision underscores Alcaraz’s grounded nature, as he lives modestly in a small bungalow at Ferrero’s academy in Villena, per The Mirror.
