Alcaraz lost his first singles match as world No. 1 toFélix Auger-Aliassime at the2022 Davis Cup Finals.[123] Next, he lost toDavid Goffin in the first round of theAstana Open. Alcaraz reached the semifinals inBasel, where he was defeated again by eventual champion Auger-Aliassime.[124] Alcaraz reached the quarterfinals of theParis Masters, but retired down a set toHolger Rune.[125] A day later, he announced he had suffered an abdominal tear requiring a six-week layoff, forcing him to end his season early. He withdrew from theATP Finals and theDavis Cup Finals.[126] Alcaraz, at the age of 19 years and 214 days, ended the year as youngest and first teenage world No. 1 in the ATP era, andsecond youngest of all-time behind Hoad.[121][127]
On January 7, Alcaraz announced his withdrawal from theAustralian Open due to an injury to his right hamstring sustained while training.[128] Following the tournament, he lost the world No. 1 ranking to the championNovak Djokovic.[129] He had held it for a total of 20 weeks. Alcaraz began his season at theArgentina Open, where he was playing for the first time. He defeated second seedCameron Norrie in the final in straight sets to claim his first title since his first major win at theUS Open in 2022.[130] The next week, Alcaraz reached the final of theRio Open, where he was defending champion, also against Norrie; however, he aggravated his leg injury during the match and lost in three sets.[131] Alcaraz withdrew from theMexican Open, citing the same injury.[132]
Alcaraz then returned toIndian Wells. He recorded his 100th career win by defeating 31st seedTallon Griekspoor in the third round, making him the second fastest player to reach this milestone afterJohn McEnroe.[133] He defeated eleventh seedJannik Sinner in the semifinals, and second seedDaniil Medvedev in the final, to lift the trophy without dropping a single set.[134] This was Alcaraz's eighth career title and third ATP 1000 title. He broke Medvedev's 19-match winning streak, and became the first player to win Indian Wells without dropping a set sinceRoger Federer in2017. He also became the youngest man to have won both legs of theSunshine Double. As a result, he regained the world No. 1 ranking on 20 March 2023.[135] Alcaraz hoped to complete theSunshine Double inMiami, where he was the defending champion.

Alcaraz only dropped one set before the semifinals ofRoland-Garros, where he metNovak Djokovic for their second career meeting. This was a highly anticipated showdown, as the two men had not played a match in over a year despite their ongoing fight over the world No. 1 ranking.[143][144] The match was competitive until Alcaraz faltered at the start of the third set due to cramps from mental pressure and physical intensity; Djokovic won in four sets, going on to win the tournament and regain the No. 1 ranking.[145]
At theQueen's Club Championships, Alcaraz claimed his first title on grass in only his third career grass court tournament, beatingAlex de Minaur in the final. This victory also restored him as world No. 1.[146] Despite relatively muted expectations for Alcaraz atWimbledon, he only dropped two sets en route to the final. There he faced off against seven-time champion and four-time defending champion Djokovic. Alcaraz won the match, which lasted four hours and forty-two minutes, and was instantly acclaimed as a modern epic.[147] This was his first Wimbledon title, and his second major title overall.[148] Alcaraz became the only man outside theBig Four to claim the Wimbledon singles title since 2002, before he himself had been born.[149]
Alcaraz lost in the quarterfinals ofToronto toTommy Paul.[150] He then met Djokovic again in theCincinnati final. Alcaraz lost in three sets, despite having a championship point in the second-set tiebreak. It was the longest ever best-of-three-sets ATP Masters final and the longest match in the tournament's history, at 3 hours and 49 minutes; Djokovic praised it as "one of the toughest matches of [his] life".[151][152] Alcaraz entered the2023 US Open as defending champion, and reached the semifinals having only dropped one set. However, he lost there to2021 championDaniil Medvedev in four sets.[153] Following the tournament, Alcaraz lost the No. 1 ranking once again to eventual champion Djokovic, who had not been defending any points.[154] He withdrew from theDavis Cup Finals, citing tiredness.[155]
Alcaraz entered the autumn-winter hardcourt season with the goal of seizing the year-end No. 1 ranking.[156][157] However, he lost toJannik Sinner in the semifinals ofBeijing, and then toGrigor Dimitrov in the round of 16 atShanghai.[158][159] He withdrew fromBasel due to injury,[160] and lost in his opening round at theParis Masters toRoman Safiullin.[161] At theATP Finals inTurin, Alcaraz lost toAlexander Zverev in the round robin stage but defeatedAndrey Rublev andDaniil Medvedev to qualify for the semifinals, where he lost decisively to eventual champion Djokovic in straight sets.[162] Ultimately, Alcaraz ended the year ranked No. 2.[163]

As defending champion in Indian Wells, Alcaraz came back into form, dropping only one set to reach the semifinals.[169] He next facedJannik Sinner for an eighth career meeting; he defeated him in three sets to end Sinner's 19-match winning streak.[170][171] Alcaraz then defeatedDaniil Medvedev in the final, earning him his first title in eight months.[172] InMiami, where he aimed to complete theSunshine Double, Alcaraz reached the quarterfinals without dropping a set.[173][174] However, he then lost to eventual finalistGrigor Dimitrov for a second consecutive time.[175] Following the tournament, he dropped to world No. 3 after being overtaken by Jannik Sinner.

Despite some shaky early matches he reached the semi-final, where he defeated second seedJannik Sinner in five sets to advance to his first Roland Garros final.

However, in the gold medal match, he lost to Djokovic in straight sets.[184] He nonetheless became the youngest-ever silver medalist in men's singles.
Alcaraz skipped the2024 Canadian Open, citing fatigue. He played at the2024 Cincinnati Open, but was upset byGaël Monfils in the opening round.[185] This match marked the first time Alcaraz broke a racket on court, which generated significant media coverage and caused him to make a public apology.[186][187][188] He next played the2024 US Open, suffering a shocking second-round defeat in straight sets toBotic van de Zandschulp, his earliest loss in a major since Wimbledon 2021.[189]
Alcaraz recovered his form by successfully competing in team events: the group stage of theDavis Cup, and theLaver Cup exhibition. Afterwards, he defeatedJannik Sinner in the final of theChina Open. This was Alcaraz's third encounter with Sinner in 2024, and his third victory, snapping Sinner's 15-match win streak.[190] With this win, Alcaraz reclaimed the world No. 2 ranking from Alexander Zverev.[191] He also became the first player in ATP Tour history to win anATP 500 singles title on every surface –clay,grass andhard court.[192][193]

They were knocked out by the Netherlands, marking the end ofRafael Nadal's career.[197] Alcaraz became the first man to finish the year ranked as low as world No. 3 after winning two majors that season.
Alcaraz began his 2025 season at theAustralian Open, vying to become the youngest man to complete aCareer Grand Slam.[198][199] He was defeated byNovak Djokovic in the quarterfinals in four sets.[200] In February, Alcaraz won his first title of the season and first indoor hardcourt title of his career at theRotterdam Open, defeatingAlex de Minaur in the final.[201] Alcaraz then played theQatar Open, where he lost in the quarterfinals toJiří Lehečka.[202]

Alcaraz enteredIndian Wells as the two-time defending champion.[203] He reached the semifinals, where he lost to 13th seed and eventual championJack Draper despitebagelling him in the second set. This was Alcaraz's first loss after the quarterfinal stage of a tournament in over a year, and snapped his sixteen-match winning streak at Indian Wells.[204] In dire form, Alcaraz then lost his first match inMiami toDavid Goffin. This marked just his third career opening-round defeat at a Masters tournament.[205]
Alcaraz's clay season was historically successful. He began it at theMonte-Carlo Masters, a tournament where he had previously never won a match.[206] Still in shaky form at first, Alcaraz fought through a tight three-setter withArthur Fils in the quarterfinals.[207] He reached the final, where he defeatedLorenzo Musetti to claim his sixth career Masters 1000 title. Alcaraz comfortably reached the final of theBarcelona Open, where he lost toHolger Rune. Following the final, he announced his withdrawal from theMadrid Open, with injuries to both legs.[208][209] Alcaraz returned in Rome, where he defeated world No. 1Jannik Sinner to claim his firstItalian Open title. He became the third man to win every modern big title on clay (French Open, Monte-Carlo, Madrid, and Rome) afterRafael Nadal andNovak Djokovic.[210]
Alcaraz met Sinner for a second consecutive bigfinal at theFrench Open. After taking the first two sets, Sinner had threechampionship points on Alcaraz's serve in the fourth set. Alcaraz held from 0–40 and then broke Sinner's own serve to win the set. This forced a fifth set, which Alcaraz won with a dominantsuper tiebreak. Alcaraz claimed his fifth major title. At 5 hours 29 minutes, this was the longest French Open final of all time, and the second longest major final of all time.[211] It was also the first time Alcaraz had ever made a comeback from two sets to love down.[212] Many commentators immediately declared it one of the greatest matches of all time.[213][214][215][216][217]
Alcaraz began his grass season at theQueen's Club Championships. His semifinal win againstRoberto Bautista Agut was his 250th ATP victory; he became the third-fastest man to achieve this milestone in the Open Era.[218] Alcaraz defeatedJiří Lehečka in the final to claim his third consecutive title, and fifth title of the season.[219] In the first round ofWimbledon, Alcaraz was unexpectedly taken to five sets byFabio Fognini, who had already announced his retirement and had not won a match all season.[220] Alcaraz dropped a set each toJan-Lennard Struff,Andrey Rublev, andTaylor Fritz, but ultimately was able to reach his sixth consecutive final. He lost toJannik Sinner in four sets, his first loss in a slam final and his first loss to Sinner since 2023. This also ended Alcaraz's 24-match win streak, the longest of his career.
Alcaraz reached his seventh consecutive final at theCincinnati Open, where he once again faced Jannik Sinner. Sinner struggled physically, and retired while Alcaraz was leading 5–0 in the first set. Alcaraz therefore claimed his third Masters title of the season.[221]At theUS Open, Alcaraz swept through the first six rounds of singles competition,bagelling bothMattia Bellucci andLuciano Darderi on the way.[222] In the semifinal, Alcaraz recorded his first win overNovak Djokovic onhardcourt.[223] Alcaraz reached the final without dropping a single set, the first man to do so at the US Open sinceRoger Federer in 2015.[224] This was his eighth consecutive tour-level final, and for a third consecutive slam final, he facedJannik Sinner. Alcaraz defeated him in four sets to claim his sixth major in one of the most dominant runs of all time.[225] He became the fourth and youngest man, at 22 years, 4 months and 2 days old, in theOpen Era to win multiple slam titles on each surface.[226] With this victory, Alcaraz also regained theworld No. 1 ranking for the first time in two years.[227]
Alcaraz then made his debut at theJapan Open. In the first set of his first round match againstSebastián Báez, Alcaraz twisted his ankle.[228] Despite the injury, he kept playing to reach his ninth consecutive final, where he facedTaylor Fritz. Having lost to Fritz at theLaver Cup just 10 days prior, Alcaraz swept past him in straight sets to secure his eighth title of the year.[229] Alcaraz then announced his withdrawal from theShanghai Open.[230]
Alcaraz lost his first match at theParis Masters toCameron Norrie in three sets, ending his streak of consecutive finals.[231] At theATP Finals, Alcaraz defeatedAlex de Minaur,Taylor Fritz, andLorenzo Musetti to top his round robin group. With the win against Musetti, he clinched the year-end No. 1 ranking for the second time. Alcaraz defeatedFélix Auger-Aliassime in the semifinal, making only three unforced errors in the first set. He progressed to yet another final againstJannik Sinner, which he lost in straight sets.[232] Alcaraz then announced his withdrawal from theDavis Cup due to a hamstring injury, ending his season.[233]
During the December preseason, Alcaraz parted ways with longtime coachJuan Carlos Ferrero.[234] Alcaraz began his 2026 season at theAustralian Open, where he reached the semifinals without dropping a set en route.[235] In the semifinal againstAlexander Zverev, he won the first two sets before struggling due to cramps. After dropping the third and fourth sets in a pair of tiebreaks, he resurged to win the decider. At 5 hours and 27 minutes, this was the longest Australian Open semifinal and third-longest overall match in tournament history.[236] Alcaraz became the youngest man in theOpen Era to reach the final of all four majors, breaking the record set byJim Courier in 1993.[237] There, Alcaraz defeatedNovak Djokovic to clinch his first Australian Open title, becoming the youngest player in history to complete theCareer Grand Slam in men's singles, at the age of 22.[238]
Carlos Alcaraz andJannik Sinner have faced each other 16 times on the ATP Tour, with Alcaraz leading 10–6.[239][240]
Notable early matches include the2022 US Open quarterfinal, which Alcaraz won en route to the title in five sets aftersaving a match point.[241] The pair met three times in 2024, with Alcaraz winning all three matches, including the tightly contested final of theChina Open.[193] Sinner lost as many matches to Alcaraz in 2024 as he did to all other players on tour combined.
In 2025, Alcaraz and Sinner met in three consecutive major finals. Alcaraz won theirfirst major final at theFrench Open, despite Sinner holding threechampionship points in the fourth set.The Guardian acclaimed it as "one of the greatest finals ever played, in any sport."[242] They met again atWimbledon, where Sinner won in four sets, dethroning defending champion Alcaraz; and at theUS Open, where Alcaraz won in four sets, dethroning defending champion Sinner.[227] For a second consecutive year, they split the season's slams at two-apiece.
They also contested two Masters finals in 2025, at theItalian Open and theCincinnati Open, both won by Alcaraz;[243][221] and the final of the2025 ATP Finals, where Sinner defeated Alcaraz in straight sets.[232] Their rivalry has been described as "potentially era-defining".[244]

Carlos Alcaraz andNovak Djokovic have faced off ten times; despite a 16-year age gap, their rivalry has remained remarkably competitive, with the head-to-head tied at 5–5.[245]
Their first meeting was at the2022 Madrid Open semifinals, where Alcaraz prevailed in a deciding set tiebreaker, becoming the first and only man to secure back-to-back victories against Nadal and Djokovic on clay. Their next meeting came over a year later in the semifinals of the2023 French Open, a highly anticipated showdown promoted by media and theATP itself.[143][144][246][247] Djokovic won in four sets, with the match competitive until Alcaraz faltered at the start of the third set due to cramps.[145]
The duo would meet again soon after in the2023 Wimbledon final, in which Alcaraz would defeat Djokovic in an epic five-setter that lasted 4 hours and 42 minutes, ending his hopes for a Calendar Grand Slam.[147] One month later, they fought another epic at the2023 Cincinnati Open final, with Djokovic prevailing in three tightly contested sets after saving a championship point. The match was the longest best-of-three-setsATP Tour final and the longest match in the tournament's history, at 3 hours and 49 minutes, and was immediately heralded as one of the best matches ever.[248][249] They then played a relatively uncompetitive match at theATP Finals, where Djokovic overpowered Alcaraz in straight sets.[250]
Djokovic and Alcaraz met twice in the summer of 2024, both in high-profile finals. On July 14, Alcaraz cruised to victory in straight sets against Djokovic ina rematch of the previous year's Wimbledon final. Three weeks later, on August 4, Djokovic defeated Alcaraz inthe Olympics final onCourt Philippe Chatrier. Neither player was broken on serve across two sets, with Djokovic winning both tiebreaks.[251] Sports historianSteve Flink called it "the best two-set match I have ever seen".[252]Tennis.com listed it as its ATP match of the year for 2024.[253]
Djokovic and Alcaraz met twice in 2025. In the quarterfinals of theAustralian Open, Djokovic prevailed in four sets to retain his unbeaten record against Alcaraz on hardcourt and deny his hopes of achieving theCareer Grand Slam.[200] They met for a rematch in the semifinals of theUS Open, where Alcaraz took revenge in straight sets to record his first win over Djokovic on hardcourt.[254] Tickets to the match were the most expensive in US Open history.[255] With this match, Alcaraz and Djokovic completed a set of meetings at each of the four majors, something that theFederer–Nadal rivalry never achieved.[256]
Djokovic and Alcaraz have met once in 2026, in the final of theAustralian Open, which Alcaraz won in four sets to end Djokovic's undefeated 10–0 record in Australian Open finals and become the youngest male player to complete the Career Grand Slam.[257] Notably, Alcaraz (along withStan Wawrinka) is one of two tennis players to hold a perfect major final record against Djokovic.
Alcaraz is anall-court tennis player, but primarily employs an aggressive baseline style of play. His straight armedforehand is typically his most potent shot: he can either hit it flat and fast for winners from every court position, or add a great amount of topspin and margin over the net. He plays with a flatter and lower net-clearance two-handedbackhand. Due to his aggression, Alcaraz typically generates a high count of both winners and unforced errors off his groundstrokes, particularly his forehand.
Alcaraz has a powerful first serve for his height; commonly around 115 to 120 mph and as high as 135 mph, but hit with average placement.[258][259] Alcaraz often adds topspin to his second serve in order to generate a high bounce, which either pushes his opponents back or forces a weak return. This serve typically reaches 150 to 170 km/h (93 to 106 mph).[260] Due mostly to its lack of targeted placement, Alcaraz's serve is often described as a relative weak spot in his game.[261] He is elite as a returner, particularly of first serves. In 2024, he won nearly a third of his opponents' service games.[262]
Alcaraz has an impressive net-game with excellent drop volleys and drive volleys, and frequently serves-and-volleys on crucial points.[263] His greatly disguiseddrop shot is key to his game. The heaviness of his groundstrokes pushes his opponents to the back of the court, which then makes his drop shots difficult to reach. His slight preference for forehand over backhand drop shots has been noted as unusual.[264]Andy Roddick has said that the Alcaraz drop shot is "the best in the history of tennis".[265] Some players and commentators have credited Alcaraz as responsible for rising drop shot usage across both professional tours in recent years.[266][267]
Alcaraz has earned acclaim for his athletic and physical traits. In particular, his direct sprints, counterattacking abilities, and an extremely high peakfootspeed have garnered him comparisons toRafael Nadal. He has been compared toNovak Djokovic for his assured lateral movement and court-coverage, aided by physical splits and sliding through the court on defense, particularly on the backhand side. LikeRoger Federer, exceptional touch has been crucial to his success.[268][269] Djokovic has said Alcaraz combines "the best of all three worlds" from his game, Federer's, and Nadal's.[270]
Alcaraz is notable for his remarkable 15–1 record in five-set matches, giving him the highest success rate of all time at 93.75%. He has not lost a match in five sets since the2022 Australian Open, when he was eighteen years old.[271] His losses come more frequently in shorter matches, particularly in the best-of-three format. He has often been criticised for a lack of consistency, across matches and across seasons.[272] Alcaraz himself claims he is unable to play well without enjoying himself on court.[273]
Alcaraz is frequently lauded for his on-court creativity and showmanship.[274][275] He has been described many times as a "human highlight reel".[276][277][278] In 2023, he said, "Obviously, I want to win every match that I play, but at the same time, I want to have fun, try different things, make the people enjoy watching tennis and watching my matches. Sometimes I talk to myself about what is most important: if I win or doing great things."[279]
Alcaraz's childhood coaches were Kiko Navarro and Carlos Santos.[280] In September 2018, fifteen-year-old Alcaraz moved toVillena to begin training at theFerrero Tennis Academy under the direction ofJuan Carlos Ferrero, who became his personal coach.[281] Ferrero turned down several coaching requests from top players in order to coach Alcaraz.[282][283] Their partnership was widely praised: Ferrero won theATP Coach of the Year Award in 2022 and 2025. In December 2025, Alcaraz unexpectedly announced that he and Ferrero had parted ways after seven years.[284]
In December 2024, it was announced thatSamuel López, a former member of Ferrero's own coaching team, would be joining Alcaraz's team to work under Ferrero as a second coach.[285] He will continue to work with Alcaraz in 2026.[234]
Alcaraz has maintained largely the same staff since he arrived on tour. His team includes physical trainer Alberto Lledó, physiotherapist Juanjo Moreno, doctor Juanjo López, and agent Albert Molina. His brother Álvaro works as his longtimehitting partner and, as of 2026, assistant coach.[286][287] In 2025, Alcaraz appointed childhood friend Fran Rubio as an additional physiotherapist.[288] Alcaraz also works with sports psychologist Isabel Balaguer.[289]
Alcaraz is sponsored byNike for clothing and shoes, and byBabolat for racquets.[290] He plays with the Babolat Pure Aero 98 racquet, with RPM Team strings.[291] In January 2022, Alcaraz became a brand ambassador forRolex.[292][293] In January 2023, he starred in American clothing brandCalvin Klein's 1996 underwear campaign.[294] In June 2023, he became a brand ambassador forLouis Vuitton.[295] Alcaraz is also a brand ambassador for Brazilian bankItaú, Spanish dermocosmetics company Isdin, Spanish food companyElPozo, and German automobile manufacturerBMW under their BMW Spain division.[296][297][298][299]
In June 2025, Alcaraz became an ambassador for multinational food companyDanone. The same month, he was announced as an ambassador for French mineral water brandEvian, which is owned by Danone.[300][301] In July 2025, he was announced as the brand ambassador for YoPRO, a high protein yoghurt brand also under Danone's portfolio, and its sister brand Oikos.[302][303]
In August 2025,Sportico estimated that Alcaraz earned more money via endorsements than any other active tennis player.[304]Forbes estimated he was the highest-paid active tennis player, combining endorsements and prize money, for the second year running.[305][306]
Alcaraz made appearances in both seasons of Netflix'sBreak Point docuseries,[307] and played againstRafael Nadal inThe Netflix Slam, a live-streamed tennis match hosted by MGM Resorts International on March 3, 2024.[308] Alcaraz was the subject of theNetflix showCarlos Alcaraz: My Way, which documented his 2024 season and was released April 23, 2025.[309] The three-part series focused on conflict between Alcaraz and his team as he attempted to balance his ambition to make tennis history with the normal life of a 21-year-old. It included appearances by Rafael Nadal,Roger Federer,Garbiñe Muguruza,Martina Navratilova,Andre Agassi,Björn Borg, andJohn McEnroe alongside other tennis greats.[310]
In April 2025, Barney Ronay forThe Guardian described Alcaraz as "arguably the most interesting athlete in the world right now".[311] He is known for his signature wide smile and charisma on the court.[312][313][314] He has also received significant media attention off the court for his personal life, particularly his annual trips toIbiza.[315][316][317] Hismixed doubles partnership withEmma Raducanu at the2025 US Open caused a media frenzy due to speculation about their personal relationship.[318][319][320] Alcaraz's style choices, particularly hisbuzz cut at the 2025 US Open and his subsequent blonde dye job, have also generated outsize media attention.[321][322] TheNew York Times selected him as one of its "most stylish people" of 2025.[323] He is known for receiving tattoos to commemorate his slam victories.[324][325]
In 2024, a media controversy arose when Alcaraz publicly broke a racket for the first time during a match inCincinnati.[326] He afterwards delivered a public apology.[188] Alcaraz is also known for his willingness to discuss mental health with the media. After his loss in the2024 US Open, he stated, "I've taken steps backwards, like I'm not doing well mentally, I'm not strong. I don't know how to control myself when faced with problems and I don't know how to handle it."[327] Following a loss atIndian Wells in 2025, he admitted to having felt "nervous the whole day", and following a win inMonte Carlo a month later, that he had been "struggling stepping on the court" and had considered taking an extended break from tennis.[328][329] Various commentators, includingAndy Roddick,Boris Becker, andAndrea Petkovic, have highlighted his unusual candidness about mental health.[330][331][332]
Alcaraz has often advocated for professional tennis players' welfare. In 2024, he spoke out several times against the length of the tennis calendar, stressing the frequency of injuries and joking that "probably they are going to kill us in some way".[333][334] In 2025, he supported fellow Spanish playerSara Sorribes Tormo's decision to take a break from the sport for her health.[335] He also signed two letters alongside other top men's and women's tennis players asking that the four major tournaments distribute a greater share of their revenue to all competing players.[336][337]
Alcaraz has often been compared to his compatriot Rafael Nadal, particularly in their native Spain. As a teenager, he was dubbed "baby Rafa" or "young Nadal".[338] However, he and Nadal have both dismissed these comparisons at length.[339][340]
Alcaraz was featured on theTime 100 Next list in 2022.[341] In December 2025, he was included on the50 Names in theBoardroom list.[342]
In April 2024, Alcaraz announced the launch of the Carlos Alcaraz Garfia Foundation, with the aim of improving the lives of disadvantaged children. It is headquartered inEl Palmar and operates in partnership with local schools.[343][344] Alcaraz's foundation provided buses to transport volunteers after theflash floods in Valencia in 2024, during which Alcaraz and Ferrero also ran a charity auction to raise funds for those affected.[345] On December 12, 2024, Alcaraz inaugurated his foundation's exhibition "Los Pies en la Tierra" in Murcia, highlighting the importance of equal opportunities for children.[346]
Alcaraz is a football fan who supports the Spanish clubReal Madrid.[347] He is known for his vocal support of many other Spanish athletes, includingFormula One driverFernando Alonso and Georgian-SpanishMMA fighterIlia Topuria.[348][349] Alcaraz is also a keen player of golf and of chess. In 2023,Chess.com created a dedicated Carlos Alcaraz bot that any user can challenge virtually on the platform.[350]
