At least one thing will stay with Carlos Alcaraz forever.
No, not Juan Carlos Ferrero. A tattoo commemorating his pair of U.S. Open titles.
Alcaraz, whose partnership with his long-time coach ended earlier this month, recently got tattoos of both the Statue of Liberty and the Brooklyn Bridge. The 22-year-old Spaniard triumphed at a Grand Slam for the first time in his career at the 2022 U.S. Open and he also lifted the trophy in New York this past summer.
“I’m gonna do two things,” Alcaraz said during his post-match press conference after defeating Jannik Sinner in the final. “I had a bet at the beginning of the tournament: the Brooklyn Bridge. And obviously the Statue of Liberty. I’m gonna do both. And the date. Because this one is special. I have to get a tattoo twice.”
The world No. 1 also has a strawberry for Wimbledon (titles in 2023 and 2024) and the Eiffel Tower for the French Open (titles in 2024 and 2025). He has not yet won the Australian Open.
“I will get a kangaroo [tattoo] for sure — that’s my idea,” Alcaraz said during the 2025 Aussie Open before losing in the quarterfinals to Novak Djokovic. “The only thing missing is to lift the trophy here, but it’s definitely the plan if it happens.”
