Carlos Alcaraz's charm is undeniable—Is he the new heartthrob of tennis?

Not all the time does Carlos Alcaraz need a racket to make humongous waves in the tennis world. Sometimes his words have more effect than the aces he pulls on the court. And this time it was something like that. The saga, which started with rumors, a blush, a wry smile, and a neutral statement, has taken over the Spaniard. A few weeks after the relationship rumor with Emma Raducanu, or rather shipping by the tennis fans and media, he has come with a statement. And the female fans can’t keep calm as they get ready to catch Alcaraz’s eye!

The saga that led to Alcaraz’s relationship status being open to question was during the Wimbledon. When media and tennis fans created a whirlpool of rumors regarding the two being together. Though it wouldn’t have been a surprise if there was some truth to this. Both Raducanu and Alcaraz are frequently on tennis tours and hence would understand the commitment and schedule to the extensive scheduling. But that bridge might have been burned way back, as Alcaraz has released a statement about his relationship status.

“I don’t have a girlfriend, but I’m looking for one,”– he declared in an August 2 interview with a Spanish publication, ABC, who shared this statement on their X account. And no sooner they were done with posting, tennis fans out there were already bowled. As they saw it as an opportunity to celebrate his being single.

Following this, tennis fans, particularly female fans couldn’t keep calm. As they think that there might be some sliver of chance that they may get lucky. Even Cristiano Rolando found his better half spontaneously!

Tennis ‘female’ fans have their proposal ready for Alcaraz

There are many stories with fairy tale endings. The most famous one might be the soccer player which goes by CR7. He found his love while shopping in a store. However, many players, such as Novak Djokovic, Rafael Nadal, and even Roger Federer, fell in love early and married their childhood sweethearts. However, the latter might not be the case with the prince of clay, as he has openly declared that he is looking for his lady love and luck. And the fans have taken it upon themselves to answer his statement.

What’s your perspective on:

Carlos Alcaraz's charm is undeniable—Is he the new heartthrob of tennis?

Have an interesting take?

When a 21-year-old prodigy makes the noise with his game in the circuit, he attracts everyone. In the last 4 years or so, Alcaraz has established himself as the player to beat to win any Grand Slam or an Olympic Gold. Hence, it’s not uncommon for him to live rent-free in the fan’s mind. Even being in a hypothetical relationship in their minds. Like this fan. “Me reading this when in my head we have been serious for at least 4 months.”

However, a few have adopted a subdued way of approaching the 21-year-old Gen Z player, with a millennial style. As they said, “Hello @carlosalcaraz how are you? I’m Gabriela 😁.” However, some took a contrasting way to introduce themselves. They adopted a pretty dramatic gif to announce their presence. With guards all around, maybe repressing the security and hoards of fans surrounding the Spaniard, she breaks through them to say, “I volunteer to be with you.”

This was not all. Amidst all the proposals rushing in for the young Spanish tennis sensation, some fans used their brains to put themselves in the light, instead of their hurts ruling. They said, “Handsome and with money, I love you 💋.” Rightly so, the Spaniard has won many tournaments, including Grand Slam, which have winners monetary rewards in millions. Let alone the sponsorships he has been associated with. Alcaraz might be moving towards being a billionaire in some years!

Carlitos is talented, respectful, funny, and a beast on the court whose game has created sensations around the tennis circuit. He has found success relatively faster than his counterparts. Even learned dance moves to attend the champion’s ball at Wimbledon. But among everything, “Apparently the only move he can’t do is finding a partner 🤪,” as a fan correctly put it. Who would be the girl to capture the prince’s heart? Would it be Emma Raducanu?
