Does Carlos Alcaraz Have a Girlfriend? His Dating History Is Mysterious
Back in 2022, a tennis site published a photo it said was from Carlos Alcaraz's Instagram story. The picture showed the tennis pro in an embrace with a woman. However, since that time, his dating history has remained mysterious. Whether he has had a girlfriend here or there is much rumored (including with some top women's players) but little confirmed. What is confirmed is that he has told interviewers several times that he is single and lamented the difficulties of maintaining a relationship with his tennis travels. The site Tennis Tonic, which posted the photo of Alcaraz kissing a woman's cheek, said his girlfriend at that time was Maria Gonzalez Gimenez. He was only 18 when that photo was shared and has since burst into fame on the tennis circuit, most recently competing at Wimbledon. "Maria is also a tennis player from Murcia playing for Murcia Club de Tenis," that site wrote. But even then, he was keeping the relationship private, Tennis Tonic reported. However, Gimenez has not been seen at his side since that time. And in an interview with tennis coach Patrick Mouratoglou, tennis player Nick Kyrgios made controversial comments when comparing Alcaraz with fellow tennis pro Jannik Sinner. "I choose Sinner, because Alcaraz loves girls," he said in that interview. "He could get distracted, he might party too much." "That's my only thing. Sinner will stay more locked in I think," he added. In 2023, Vogue wrote, "There were reports of him dating Maria Gonzalez Gimenez, but Alcaraz alludes to a breakup and says he's been single for 18 months." 'It's complicated, never staying in one place,' he told Vogue. 'It's hard to find the person who can share things with you if you're always in different parts of the world.' In 2024, Alcaraz revealed that he still lives with his mother. "When I finish a tournament, it doesn't matter if I win or not, I just want to get home to be with my family,' he told The Times. 'I live with my mum and dad, my older brother and two younger brothers. To them I am not a big tennis star, just a normal guy. One of the things about tennis is that you travel a lot and my dad and older brother come with me. My older brother is my hitting partner.' The interviewer asked him, "Are you in a relationship?' He "blushes ever so slightly," the article said, quoting him as saying, 'No, I am single. I am looking for someone. It can be difficult as a tennis player to meet the right person because you are travelling all the time.' 'I doubt you will be short of admirers,' the author said. 'I hope so,' he responded. Women's tennis star Emma Raducanu commented on dating rumors as Wimbledon is underway. She declared that they were just "good friends." Rumors have also swirled about Alcaraz and Iga Swiatek, but they have not been Carlos Alcaraz Have a Girlfriend? His Dating History Is Mysterious first appeared on Men's Journal on Jul 6, 2025

Jannik Sinner breaks strict diet due to Wimbledon rival Carlos Alcaraz
Jannik Sinner was beaten in the French Open final by Carlos Alcaraz and his coach Darren Cahill has admitted how the Italian reacted to the defeat Jannik Sinner's coach, Darren Cahill, has shared how the tennis star dealt with a gut-wrenching defeat at the French Open final. After a nail-biting five-setter in which Sinner surrendered a two-set lead and three championship points to Carlos Alcaraz, the Italian reacted by breaking his diet. Sinner had won back-to-back majors at the US Open and Australian Open ahead of last month's French Open final. Having come agonisinly close to clinching a third consecutive Grand Slam, there were fears that the Paris defeat to two-time Wimbledon champion Alcaraz could impact Sinner's fortunes at the Grand Slam. Sinner swept those concerns aside as he kicked off with a win against fellow Italian Luca Nardi at SW19 on Tuesday. However, Cahill did admit that Sinner dealt with his French Open heartache by breaking his diet after being seen exiting Roland Garros with a jar of sweets in hand. In an interview with ESPN, as reported by Tennis Tonic, Cahill said: "I must say, about half an hour afterwards, he went and did the press," he began. "We were walking to transport. We had this big bus where we all sit in and for the players they have this candy jar that you can take a couple of candies [from] as you walk out of Roland Garros. He took the whole jar! "He grabbed the glass jar, had the candies, he'd been on a strict diet for two weeks and that was it. The diet was out the window. "In the car, he was handing candies out to everyone," said Cahill. "He was laughing, he was giggling. He moved on pretty quickly and it'll be interesting to see how he moves on here because this will be the big test." Following the painful defeat in Paris, Cahill is optimistic that the world No. 1 has arrived at Wimbledon in top form. Having previously reached the semi-finals, Cahill believes that Sinner is still improving his grass court game. "He's had his best week of practice on grass that he's ever had. He's rejuvenated, he's fresh, mentally he looks good," Cahill continued. 'The first couple of matches will be interesting. "He has to get his teeth into the tournament, but if he can get through the first couple of matches, he'll be completely fine. '. While other players may have struggled to come to terms with Sinner's defeat in the French Open, his coach explained why the 23-year-old was quickly able to focus on the next challenge. 'He knows he's got 10 or 12 years at the top of the game if he continues to work the way he's working," Cahill said. "He knows he's going to have a lot more chances against Carlos Alcaraz in finals. They'll play a lot of big matches and he'll get his wins. "The fact also that, had he won that tournament, we'd be competing here for the Sinner slam. He would have had three in a row. So he knows he's around the mark, he's improving all the time on grass." Having spoken ahead of the Italian's opening match, Sinner lived up to his coach's expectations, smoothly sailing into the second round and setting up a clash with Aleksandar Vukic. After dispatching Nardi and moving forward in the tournament, the young star displayed his positive mindset. "It's a new tournament with new chances and new challenges. I will try to keep going and enjoy playing here," Sinner said in a press conference. "If you don't enjoy playing on these courts, I don't know where you will enjoy. I'm very happy to be here, so let's see what is coming."
