“I did some shots as well, but nothing more” – Carlos Alcaraz gets honest about ‘craziest’ part of his Ibiza getaway after French Open win
After clinching his fifth Grand Slam title with a dramatic five-set victory over Jannik Sinner at the French Open on June 8, 2025, world No. 2 Carlos Alcaraz took a three-day break in Ibiza to unwind before the grass season. At a Queen’s Club Championships press conference on June 15, 2025, the 22-year-old Spaniard got honest about the “craziest” part of his getaway, admitting, “The craziest thing was probably staying out really late and doing some shots as well, but nothing more,” per France 24. This marked a shift from his wilder 2023 and 2024 Ibiza trips, where he partied for “three days straight,” as revealed in his Netflix documentary Carlos Alcaraz: My Way, per Punto de Break.
A Mellow Escape
Alcaraz emphasized the trip’s mental reset over physical revelry, saying, “I was there more mentally than physically… I only went out one night,” per Tennis365. Joined by friends, including ex-Tottenham star Sergio Reguilón, he danced but kept things low-key, joking, “I am getting older, my body doesn’t keep up anymore!” per France 24. His coach, Juan Carlos Ferrero, endorsed the break, telling El Laguero, “I told him to have a good time but remember he’s a tennis player,” per The Mirror. The getaway followed an intense clay season, where Alcaraz won Monte-Carlo, Rome, and Roland Garros, earning €2.55 million (£2.13m) for his Paris triumph, per Daily Mail.
Grass Season Prep
Returning for Queen’s Club, where he won in 2023, Alcaraz faces Alejandro Davidovich Fokina in the first round, aiming to build on his 6-1 record there despite a 2024 loss to Jack Draper, per ATP Tour. His Ibiza comments, shared on X by @ManuSanchezGom as, “Alcaraz: ‘In bed by midnight… I’m getting older.’ He’s the best,” reflect his humor and maturity, per. As he eyes a third consecutive Wimbledon title, Alcaraz’s restrained Ibiza trip underscores his focus on balancing fun with professional demands, per The Guardian.
