Carlos Alcaraz has given a candid answer to a question that, according to former WTA pro Elena Vesnina, many girls around the world are curious about.
Alcaraz is currently competing at the ATP Finals in Turin, where he opened his campaign against Alex de Minaur on Sunday. The Spaniard defeated the Australian in straight sets, 7-6(5), 6-2, marking his first opening win at the year-end tournament in three attempts.
Following the match, Alcaraz faced an unexpected but lighthearted moment at his press conference. Former Olympic doubles gold medalist and three-time doubles Grand Slam champion Elena Vesnina stopped by to ask a question unrelated to his performance—one she said many girls worldwide wanted to know.
“I have a question from a lot of girls around the world,” Vesnina began. “Your heart has been taken?”
At first, Alcaraz seemed puzzled by the phrase. When Vesnina clarified, “Are you free?” the World No. 2 responded with a laugh, confirming his relationship status.
“No, I’m free. I’m free. I’m free,” Alcaraz replied.
With this victory over De Minaur, Carlos Alcaraz is now just two wins away from securing the year-end World No. 1 ranking—a spot claimed by Jannik Sinner last year.
**Carlos Alcaraz on the Challenges of Dating as a Tennis Player**
Alcaraz has previously spoken openly about the difficulties of maintaining a relationship while pursuing a professional tennis career. In a 2024 interview with the Sunday Times, he shared how the constant traveling makes it challenging to meet the right person.
“No, I am single. I am looking for someone. It can be difficult as a tennis player to meet the right person because you are traveling all the time,” he said.
In 2025, he again confirmed his single status during an Australian Open exhibition match. Joking about his prospects of engagement, he said:
“Who knows this year? [Laughing]. No, no, no engagement so far. Single, so far. I laughed with some close people that during the break, 3 or 4 players got engaged. I thought it was my turn, but not yet.”
As Alcaraz focuses on his tennis goals, fans will be keen to see what the future holds both on and off the court.
