For years, tennis lovers have been looking for the successors of the three legends of their sport, Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic, without ever finding them. For a few hours, it may well be that this is now the case. At only 19 years old, Carlos Alcaraz just won his very first career Grand Slam tournament. A real feat and a precocity that we have rarely seen in high-level tennis and which portends the best for the young Spaniard, who can already dream of a bright future. After two weeks of very high level, he overcame the Norwegian player Casper Ruud, already a finalist at Roland-Garros this year and who is also part of this young generation full of talent.
After a very tough fight of more than three hours, Carlos Alcaraz ended up winning in 4 sets and thus won the first major trophy of his very young career. Always smiling and at ease in front of the media, the Spanish player is already very popular on social networks since he has more than 1.8 million subscribers on his Instagram account. A platform on which he is used to posting photos of himself during his matches or his training, but he remains rather discreet about everything concerning his private life. However, a few months ago, he published a photo in story that suggests that he has found love.
In a relationship with a beautiful brunette tennis fan?
At the beginning of April, Carlos Alcaraz put in his story a nice photo of him and a certain Maria González Gimenez, who could well be his girlfriend. In the photo, we see the young sportsman giving a big kiss on the cheek of the beautiful brunette, who hugs him tenderly (a photo to be found in the slideshow). “I miss you”, he adds in Spanish on the picture, because obviously the sequence of tournaments does not really allow him to spend time with her. On her Instagram account, the young woman from Murcia, like the new winner of the US Open, indicates study law, and shares his passion for tennis with the one who makes his heart beat. An unmistakable sign, Carlos Alcaraz liked almost all of Maria’s publications, which gives a big clue about their relationship.
Brand new world number 1 and the youngest in history to have done so, Carlos Alcaraz represents the future of world tennis and at only 19 years old, it seems that he sees this future alongside the beautiful María Gonzalez Gimme!
