By winning the title at the 2026 Australian Open, Carlos Alcaraz achieved a career Grand Slam in singles, making him the youngest male player to do so. After his victory, the Spaniard revealed what tattoo he plans to get in honor of winning his first Australian Open title.
Alcaraz has a tradition of marking his Grand Slam victories with tattoos. He got a tattoo of the Statue of Liberty and the Brooklyn Bridge after winning the US Open, a tattoo of the Eiffel Tower after his first French Open title, and a tattoo of a strawberry after winning Wimbledon, among others.
Carlos Alcaraz Reveals Tattoo He Is Going To Get To Commemorate Winning Australian Open
Alcaraz was the top seed at the 2026 Australian Open, and he defeated the fourth seed and 10-time Melbourne Major champion, Novak Djokovic, with a scoreline of 2-6, 6-2, 6-3, 7-5, claiming his first Australian Open title and his seventh Grand Slam title overall.
During the post-match press conference, when asked about the tattoo he would choose to commemorate his Australian Open victory, the world No. 1 revealed his plan to get a tattoo of a “little kangaroo.” He mentioned that he intends to place it on his leg, either next to his French Open tattoo or his Wimbledon tattoo.
“I’ve said it’s gonna be a kangaroo for sure, a little kangaroo. I don’t know where it’s gonna be. It’s gonna be in the leg for sure, but I don’t know if it will be the right or the left one. So I got to choose a good spot, but it’s going to be for sure close to the French Open or Wimbledon [tattoo]. I just have to choose,” Alcaraz said.
