After winning the US Open title in 2022, Alcaraz got the date he won the final tattooed on his arm as a forever reminder of his historic achievement. The Spaniard plans to get his Wimbledon final win tattooed as well, as he looks to create a winning habit at Grand Slams.
Celebrating the Wimbledon victory
In the world of tennis, few victories can rival the glory of defeating a legend like Novak Djokovic. Carlos Alcaraz achieved just that at Wimbledon, a moment that will forever be etched in the history of the sport. The young Spaniard’s remarkable triumph against Djokovic showcased not only his exceptional skill on the court but also his determination to succeed. Many described Alcaraz and Djokovic final at Wimbledon as the greatest final in recent years and Alcaraz has admitted to celebrate it in style.
In a recent interview with Babolat, Alcaraz said that he celebrated his final victory by spending time with family and friends in Spain. The 20-year-old further added that he had a party with his friends to celebrate his triumph. Alcaraz mentioned that he feels spending time with his close one’s is the best way to celebrate success.
“I spent time with my family and friends, I think that is the best thing to do. I had a party in Spain with my friends too. I’m planning on getting the Wimbledon tattoo on my arm like I did after the US Open.”
When asked if his arm will be too short to tattoo all his career title, the Spaniard smiled and said “Hopefully not.” Alcaraz has said his next tattoo will be the one dedicated to his Wimbledon win and many fans are predicting it to be a strawberry.
Carlos Alcaraz mulls tattoos and tributes
Alcaraz is making a habit of getting his arm tattooed after his major Grand Slam wins. The Spaniard got the date of his US Open title win tattooed and plans to do the same for his Wimbledon win. Alcaraz hinted at his plans for his next tattoo, a nod to his Wimbledon victory, might be strawberries.
Markéta Vondroušová, who recently got a strawberry tattoo after her own Wimbledon success. When asked about weather he will get a strawberry tattoo too, Alcaraz was open to the idea.
“A strawberry might be part of it. After all, Wimbledon is synonymous with strawberries and cream, and it’s a tradition that I’d love to pay homage to. It’s a great coincidence! Strawberries seem to be the theme of the season. If it holds a special meaning for me, why not?”
