Carlos Alcaraz, 22, was one of the breakout names at last year’s Australian Open, powering through to the quarter-finals before being knocked out by Novak Djokovic.
This year, the rising star returns to our shores with history firmly in his sights, bidding for his first Australian Open title and the chance to become the youngest man ever to complete the career Grand Slam.
Naturally, with so much attention on the tennis ace, curiosity about whether or not Carlos Alcaraz has a girlfriend, has reached fever pitch.
And who can blame those wondering?
Hailed as the next Rafael Nadal, the budding champion is just as likeable off the court as he is on it, recently sharing a post-match ritual that only makes us like him more.
“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 after his history making Wimbledon win against Novak Djokovic in 2024.
While he admits that getting to travel with his father and older brother helps to keep homesickness at bay, he still goes long stretches without seeing his mum and two younger brothers.
For Alcaraz, it’s this distance that truly makes the heart grow fonder. “Getting home is great because I miss them. The longer you are away, the more you realise how much you need them.”
And it looks like he’ll be needing them much more this year, as the world number three Spaniard seeks to add to his (already) four grand slam titles and reclaim his career high of world number one.
While there might not be a tennis WAG currently watching on from the sidelines during Alcaraz’s matches, that doesn’t necessarily mean the champion hasn’t courted public relationships in the past.
Below, we address those Carlos Alcaraz girlfriend rumours with a deep dive into the tennis star’s dating history including his current off-court status.
Are Emma Raducanu And Carlos Alcaraz In A Relationship?
Nothing says romance like getting hot and sweaty, rallying back and forth on the tennis court. Just ask Carlos Alcaraz and Emma Raducanu, or so fans wish.
The mixed doubles partners had fans in a frenzy at the 2025 Queen’s Club Championships in London thanks to their on-court chemistry. But alas, despite the internet theorising there might be more going on, the teammates have firmly shut down romance rumours.
Speaking to BBC, Raducanu, 22, said she is “glad the internet is having fun and we’re providing some entertainment for everyone,” but maintained their relationship was purely platonic.
Alcaraz has revealed that he is ” looking for someone”, telling The Times in 2024, “It can be difficult as a tennis player to meet the right person because you are traveling all the time.” Now, it appears he may have found that someone — and it’s not Emma Raducanu.
Are Brooks Nader And Carlos Alcaraz In A Relationship?
The US Open champion is now reportedly dating Sports Illustrated model Brooks Nader.
The relationship was confirmed by Nader’s sister, Grace Ann, who told E! News that there is very much something going on between her 28-year-old sibling and the 22-year-old Spanish athlete.
“The rumours are true,” she said when asked about the pair at Raising Cane’s New York Fashion Week show on Wednesday. “Dating is such a loose term. But I do know he’s the man of the hour.”
While Alcaraz is said to have already met Nader’s sisters Mary Holland and Sarah Jane, Grace Ann added that she is yet to meet him herself — suggesting this may be a romance still in its early chapters.
Who Is Carlos Alcaraz’s Rumoured Ex-Girlfriend Maria Gonzalez?
Alcaraz has previously been linked to fellow Spanish tennis player Maria Gonzalez Gimenez.
It seems that Gimenez shared more than just a romantic connection with her athletic beau.
According to Daily Mail, the rumoured couple also hailed from the same Spanish village, El Palmar, Murcia, and had been close friends since childhood.
While she keeps her private life largely under wraps, according to her social media accounts, Gimenez still lives in Spain where she’s recently graduated from a law degree at University of Murcia.
Although the pair never confirmed their relationship, Gimenez alluded to a breakup in a 2023 interview with Vogue where he spoke about the pitfalls of a life on the road.
“It’s complicated, never staying in one place,” he said.
“It’s hard to find the person who can share things with you if you’re always in different parts of the world.”
But if his popularity and ace personality are anything to go by, we don’t think he’ll have any issues finding his perfect match moving forward.
