Facing defending champion Jannik Sinner in the final at Arthur Ashe Stadium, Alcaraz delivered a masterclass, clinching the match 6-2, 3-6, 6-1, 6-4. It marked his sixth Grand Slam title overall, drawing comparisons to the legendary Rafael Nadal, whom he surpassed in terms of speed in achieving this milestone. At just 22, Alcaraz became the youngest man in the Open Era to win multiple titles at three different Grand Slams, showcasing his versatility across various surfaces.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Alcaraz&#8217;s tattoo journey began with the date &#8220;11\/09\/22&#8221; on his arm for his first US Open win. Subsequent triumphs brought a strawberry for his Wimbledon conquests, which symbolises the tournament&#8217;s famous fruit, and an Eiffel Tower for his 2024 Roland Garros title.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This tattoo isn&#8217;t a spur-of-the-moment decision for Alcaraz. Apparently, he made a <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/Mql-BG5R_pk?si=Tr0Dj3Jl4MFPy4wg\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">deal<\/a> with his father that he would only get one iconic tattoo for each of the 4 slams. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He only got the date for the 2022 US Open, so now he is finishing it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Alcaraz had teased this New York-inspired design earlier in the year, joking <a href=\"https:\/\/youtube.com\/shorts\/gUGcGkGJJV4?si=8SUT6MqviEsitJl8\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">during<\/a> the Australian Open that he&#8217;d get a kangaroo if he triumphed Down Under, but reserving the Big Apple icons for a US Open repeat. It will be interesting to see whether the Spaniard sticks to the kangaroo tattoo or opts for something else if and when he wins the Australian Open.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Main Photo Credit: Geoff Burke-Imagn Images<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Spanish tennis sensation and world No.1 Carlos Alcaraz has added two striking new tattoos to his growing collection.
