“I am getting older” – Carlos Alcaraz laments age holding him back from partying all night in Ibiza post French Open glory

Following his epic five-set victory over Jannik Sinner in the 2025 French Open final on June 7, Carlos Alcaraz, the 22-year-old Spanish tennis star, took a three-day break in Ibiza, but humorously lamented feeling too old to party all night, saying, “I only went out one night, I am getting older,” in a press conference before the Queen’s Club Championships on June 15, per Punto de Break. Unlike his previous Ibiza trips in 2023 and 2024, where he admitted to “partying hard” for three days straight, as revealed in his Netflix documentary Carlos Alcaraz: My Way, this year’s getaway was tamer, with Alcaraz noting, “The craziest thing was probably staying out really late. I danced a bit, but nothing more,” per France 24. He added, “I was there more mentally than physically,” emphasizing a need to recharge after the grueling clay season, per France 24.

Alcaraz’s coach, Juan Carlos Ferrero, supported the break, telling El Laguero, “I told him to have a good time… but to remember he’s a tennis player,” highlighting the balance between relaxation and professionalism, per The Mirror. The trip, spent with friends including ex-Tottenham star Sergio Reguilón, was less about nightlife and more about mental reset, per Daily Mail. Alcaraz, who earned €2.55 million (£2.13m) for his fifth Grand Slam title, quipped about his body not keeping up, saying, “My body doesn’t keep up anymore!” per France 24. X posts, like @ManuSanchezGom’s, captured his humor: “Alcaraz: ‘I went out the first day, but not the next two. In bed by midnight… I’m getting older.’ He’s the best,” per. As he prepares for Queen’s and Wimbledon, Alcaraz’s lighthearted reflection underscores his evolving maturity, per The Guardian.
