When you’re a rising star in tennis, everyone is going to volley questions about your love life—and this is especially true when it comes to uncovering the mystery of Carlos Alcaraz’s girlfriend. While the young Spanish star has kept his private life relatively under wraps, he has dropped some pretty revealing hints about his relationship status that help paint a clearer picture of his relationship status today.
Born on May 5, 2003, in Murcia, Spain, Alcaraz started playing tennis at a very young age and quickly began showcasing his talent on the court. The 20-year-old star has already been touted as one of the most promising young athletes in the world of tennis, having won over 10 ATP Tour-level singles titles, including the 2022 US Open and 2023 Wimbledon Championship titles, along with four Masters 1000 titles. The Spanish athlete often draws comparisons to his fellow countryman and tennis player Rafael Nadal due to their similar playing styles on the court. The legend vs. prodigy even went head to head against each other in a Netflix exhibition match hosted in Las Vegas, Nevada, on March 3, 2024.
Today, Alcaraz continues to gather tons of attention from tennis fans and experts alike, with many predicting a bright future ahead for the young Spanish player. But beyond his skills on the court, fans worldwide have found themselves equally interested in the superstar’s private life, particularly in matters of the heart. Many want to know: who is Carlos Alcaraz‘s girlfriend? For everything we know about the young tennis prodigy’s love life—and whether he’s single, dating, or taken—keep on reading ahead.
Who’s Carlos Alcaraz’s girlfriend?
While it is believed Carlos Alcaraz is currently single, he was previously linked to fellow athlete Maria Gonzalez Gimenez for several years.
Gimenez, who is from Alcaraz’s hometown of Murcia, Spain, is a student pursuing a law degree at the University of Murcia, where she is working towards a bilingual degree. Sharing a common passion for sports, Gimenez’s Instagram also shows that she’s an active member of Murcia Club de Tenis, a local tennis club in Spain.
Throughout their relationship, the couple opted to keep their love life away from the public eye. However, fans caught a glimpse of their connection when Tennis Tonic shared a screenshot of an Instagram story posted on Alcaraz’s account, showcasing a sweet moment shared between the two. In the photo, Alcaraz can be seen kissing Gimenez on the cheek, while she had her arm wrapped around him.
In a February 2023 interview with Vogue, Alcaraz seemed to imply that he broke things off with the student and athlete. According to the magazine, he shared that he had been single for 18 months at that point. “It’s complicated, never staying in one place,” he shared with the outlet. “It’s hard to find the person who can share things with you if you’re always in different parts of the world.”
The tennis star also opened up in the profile about starting to see a therapist following his split from Gimenez. “She’s helped me a lot,” Alcaraz said of his therapist. “I was a bit all over the place. I didn’t control my emotions well, I got really pissed off. When I was 15 or 16 I threw my racket around quite a bit, or I’d break one, and that put my game at risk. So I knew I had to improve in that respect. Thanks to Isabel I’ve gotten much better. Feeling calm during such a demanding year is essential. And from my point of view, it’s crucial to go out onto the court smiling, feeling happy. That helps you mentally. For me, it’s everything.”
Alcaraz avoided dating rumors with Emma Radacanu when she appeared at Wimbledon when he was playing. “I don’t know. I guess a lot of people came to see the final,” he said when he was pressed with questions about her appearance. “Novak and I we always play a spectacular match, it’s a beautiful match to see.
“She is from here, so I imagine that she wanted to come and see it. If there was a Grand Slam in Murcia I would watch the finals 100 per cent. I don’t know if she came to the finals or if she came to see me. Who knows? You have to question her, but I hope she enjoyed the final.”
