Like his idol Rafael Nadal, Carlos Alcaraz is also known for having a ripped physique. The young Spanish star devotes most of his time to his sport and becoming the most dominant player. Therefore, him having a chiseled physique won’t surprise any of his fans. Fans of Alcaraz have been able to witness the man’s muscular frame many times.

Over the years, Nadal also shed his top to show off his muscular physique. In 2008, Nadal chose to go shirtless for a practice session. As he took his top off, no one expected to see this well-toned muscular physique. His successor on the court has also taken a similar path on numerous occasions in his career so far. Let’s look at a few occasions.

His shapely physique was at the forefront of the magazine. He posed for the cover at just 18. His career quickly picked up after that as he finished as the year-end number 1 by the end of 2022 and posed for many other magazines, albeit with a shirt. Brand deals and endorsements also obliged Alcaraz to pose for them.
