French Open winner Carlos Alcaraz plans to have a tattoo of iconic landmark the Eiffel Tower as a permanent reminder of the tournament he loved as a child.
In the lead-up to his first French Open final, a photo reappeared of a 12-year-old Carlos Alcaraz sat in front of the Eiffel Tower watching the tournament on a big screen.

He won an incredible 14 titles between 2005 and 2022, as well as setting a host of staggering records which have not been matched at any other Grand Slam tournament.Alcaraz also has tattoos marking his other two major titles - the date of his US Open win on his arm and also a Wimbledon-themed strawberry
