Does Carlos Alcaraz have a girlfriend? Here’s what we know

Here’s what we know about Carlos Alcaraz’s love life.

We know this much: tennis phenom Carlos Alcaraz isn’t married.

There have been rumors that he was dating someone named Maria Gonzalez Giminez, but there hasn’t been much in terms of official reporting or posts about them on social media.

Alcaraz said this to Vogue in 2023: “It’s complicated, never staying in one place,” he adds. “It’s hard to find the person who can share things with you if you’re always in different parts of the world.”

So it seems like he might be single at the moment as he continues to show why he’s one of the best players in the world.

Look: McVay, Stafford, Nacua and Kupp sit courtside at ‘Netflix Slam’ tennis match

The Rams’ stars were out at the “Netflix Slam” where Rafael Nadal and Carlos Alcaraz squared off in Las Vegas

The stars were out at the inaugural “Netflix Slam” on Sunday night, an exhibition match between Carlos Alcaraz and Rafael Nadal in Las Vegas, including several from the Los Angeles Rams.

Videos showed Sean McVay, Matthew Stafford, Cooper Kupp and Puka Nacua all sitting courtside for the Nadal-Alcaraz battle, hanging out together at this awesome event. It’s obviously not the first time they’ve hung out together, but seeing them spending time as a group at an event like this is pretty cool.

Jordan Love and Colin Kaepernick were also sitting in celebrity row for the match, so it wasn’t just the Rams’ stars representing the NFL in Vegas.

Apparently McVay showed off his wide receiver hands by snagging a wayward shot by Nadal. You can only see the aftermath in the video below, but the former college receiver has some good hands.

Here’s another photo of the group together at the event, along with some others.

Alcaraz took down the legendary Nadal, 14-12, coming from behind to beat his idol.

A mic’d up Jimmy Butler hilariously won a point off No. 1 tennis star Carlos Alcaraz at the US Open

Jimmy Butler believes that he is one of the best tennis players in the world.

Miami Heat wing Jimmy Butler stole the show at the Stars of the Open Exhibition Match to Benefit Ukraine Relief.

Earlier this year, when he spoke to For The Win, the Heat star said that tennis was tied with basketball for his “second-favorite” sport. Butler clearly had an amazing night at USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center as part of the 2023 US Open Fan Week.

After some light training, Butler originally began his evening as a crew member for Frances Tiafoe, a basketball fan who is ranked as the No. 10 tennis player in the world. Butler ran out with the other crew members and he looked noticeably taller than his peers.

Butler then competed in an exhibition doubles match with Tiafoe against Carlos Alcaraz (the No. 1 ranked tennis player in the world) and Colombian pop star Sebastián Yatra.

While wearing a microphone, Butler faced off against Alcaraz and gave him instructions for how it would go down: Butler didn’t want to serve, then they had a rally, then Butler won a point off the top-ranked tennis star.

It was impressive to see Butler get in some solid hits against someone as accomplished as Alcaraz, who has already won two major titles at 20 years old.

Later in the night, however, the four-time NBA All-Star did lose in a tough match to Yatra.

Fortunately, though, the loss didn’t impact his confidence whatsoever.

Butler said the experience was a “dream come true” and that he feels he is one of the top tennis players in the world, too.

His extremely high belief in himself when it comes to dominating other sports isn’t new for Butler, though.

Butler once told For The Win that he averages a perfect score whenever he goes bowling, so of course he also thinks he is one of the best tennis players in the world.

Carlos Alcaraz delighted in Novak Djokovic’s classy joke about losing to him at Wimbledon

This was a perfect way to give Alcaraz his flowers.

Sunday saw Novak Djokovic once again break his racquet in frustration during a tough Men’s Wimbledon Final loss. But it’s worth noting that Djokovic only specifically threw another tantrum because world No. 1 and first-time Wimbledon winner Carlos Alcaraz gave him all he could handle in a tense match.

When Djokovic was asked to reflect on his defeat post-match, with the heat of the moment behind them, he made sure to pay tribute to Alcaraz’s performance as a bright 20-year-old. He did it by making a classy joke about how Alcaraz actually surprised him with a sterling performance on Wimbledon’s trademark grass.

And as a growing friendly rival, Alcaraz absolutely loved it:

In case you’re not sure what Djokovic referred to when saying he thought Alcaraz would only give him “trouble” on other surfaces, he’s partly calling back their semifinal match at the 2023 French Open earlier this summer. Alcaraz made some incredible plays at Roland-Garros before eventually fading down the stretch.

That, of course, didn’t happen to Alcaraz at Wimbledon, and Djokovic appropriately applauded his young peer for holding it together for the big win.

Novak Djokovic childishly smashed his racquet in frustration after losing a break in epic Wimbledon Final

Throwing a tantrum in a tough loss is classic Djokovic.

Entering Sunday’s Men’s Wimbledon Final, Novak Djokovic had a chance to break the all-time Open record for Grand Slam titles. But first, he had to overcome the young superstar and current world No. 1 Carlos Alcaraz.

While some expected Djokovic to cruise, Alcaraz gave the arguable tennis GOAT all he could handle in an epic five-set match. And when Alcaraz started to pull away in the fifth set, winning a crucial break en route to his first-ever Wimbledon title, Djokovic predictably lost his cool in the worst way.

He does, after all, have a history.

In this case, the Serbian athlete once again smashed and completely destroyed his racquet against the post like a child, showing anything but the grace and composure of a champion.

The least Djokovic can do in a tough loss is not … destroy things. There’s something to be said for discretion and taking a defeat in dignity. This was a terrible look for someone who carries themselves like an all-time great.

Novak Djokovic could only applaud Carlos Alcaraz’s outrageous point against him in French Open semifinal

Seriously, HOW?!

Sometimes, when your opponent makes a jaw-dropping play during competition, all you can do is watch and applaud.

And that’s exactly what Novak Djokovic did Friday during his 2023 French Open semifinals match against Carlos Alcaraz, the 20-year-old player from Spain who’s currently ranked No. 1 in the world.

Early in the match after No. 3 Djokovic — who’s currently in a two-way tie with Rafael Nadal for most men’s Grand Slam wins at 22 — won the first set, the second set was tied, But Alcaraz was up in the third game, and then he pulled off some magic.

As the pair were going back and forth, Alcaraz was forced up to the net, leaving 36-year-old Djokovic with a wide-open court for a seemingly easy point. But Alcaraz showed off some incredible speed, running from the net to the baseline before returning for a jaw-dropping point.

Seriously, how did he do this?! How did he get back fast enough? The agility and body control! How did he manage to even hit the ball — and at that angle?!

Just look at where the ball is on the return, where Alcaraz is and the direction they’re both heading. Winning this point is outrageous.

But afterward, Alcaraz’s smile and Djokovic’s raised hands and applause say it all.

UPDATE: Though Alcaraz won the second set, he began to cramp up and struggle significantly. Djokovic ultimately won (6-3, 5-7, 6-1, 6-1) and advanced to Sunday’s final.

Inés Sainz llama “naquito” a Carlos Alcaraz, tenista número uno del mundo

Inés Sainz hizo una polémica declaración sobre Carlos Alcaraz asegurando que no le gustan sus modos, es medio naquito y espera que se refine

[vertical-gallery id=51057]

Inés Sainz es una de las periodistas deportivas consentidas por el público mexicano que ha disfrutado su trabajo con entrevistas exclusivas especialmente en el Super Bowl de la NFL, pero esta vez se refirió al tenista número uno del mundo como un “naquito”.

La conductora dio una entrevista en el canal de YouTube TikiTaka MX y contó una anécdota sobre el tenis donde una ocasión tuvo la oportunidad de entrevistar a Juan Carlos Ferrero, entonces número uno del mundo y estaba acompañado de Roger Federer antes de que se convirtiera en la leyenda del tenis mundial.

Sin embargo al tocar el tema sobre el actual número uno del mundo el español Carlos Alcaraz, Inés Sainz hizo una polémica declaración asegurando que no le gustan sus modos, es medio naquito y espera que se refine.

“¡Ay! Nada más no me gustan sus modos, deja mucho qué desear, lo que pasa es que está medio naquito el nuevo pero bueno, ojalá se nos refine un poco. Sin ser despectiva pero le falta como estilo, clase”, dijo Sainz.

Aunque confesó que no le encuentra parecido a Rafael Nadal ni lo considera su heredero de la gloria aunque aseguró que le encantaría entrevistarlo y seguro resultará en un “niño encantador”.

Si Carlos Alcaraz continúa haciendo lo que ha hecho hasta ahora en la edición 2022 del U.S. Open, probablemente estemos viendo el ascenso del español hacia un título de Grand Slam.

El miércoles en la noche, venció a Jannik Sinner en una victoria épica de cinco sets, y como parte de esa victoria, hizo el que probablemente se convertirá en el mejor tiro del torneo.

Mientras corría hacia su derecha, Sinner contestó un tiro del lado de su revés. El impulso que llevaba Alcaraz lo dejó en un punto en el que ya no podía pegarle a la pelota de forma normal, así que CONTESTÓ POR ATRÁS DE SU ESPALDA. Sinner contestó con una dejadita y Alcaraz conectó el tiró ganador.

¡La multitud enloqueció!
