Carlos Alcaraz names his future wife and shares Wimbledon retirement plan
Carlos Alcaraz
Carlos Alcaraz has revealed he plans to retire from tennis at the 2037 edition of Wimbledon.
Alcaraz has taken the tennis world by storm ever since breaking onto the scene as a teenager.
The Spanish ace could retire tomorrow as one of the game’s greats, having already bagged himself four Grand Slam titles aged 21-years-old – one more than Andy Murray managed across his two-decade-long career.
But despite not even having entered the prime years of his career, Alcaraz is already looking ahead to his retirement.
Speaking to internet sensation Daniel Fernandez, Alcaraz was asked when he sees himself retiring, to which he replied: “It’s 2024, I’m 21, 2037? Maybe 2034 or 2035.
“No I’ll change it. 2037! Yes that’s the last one.”
Quizzed on why he decided to change, he said: “Because, the true greats play a long time, I want to reach the peak and be 35 still fighting.”
Pressing Alcaraz to offer more detail, Fernandez asked where he plans to hang up his racket.
He responded: “Wimbledon,” the site of two of his four Grand Slam victories.
But Fernandez wasn’t finished there, as he decided to ask for an insight into Alcaraz’s love life.
