Carlos Alcaraz has begun to design his ATP 2025 schedule and there is already a big surprise. The Spanish player has decided to register for the ATP 500 Rotterdam tournament for the first time in his career, casting doubt on his participation in the South American clay court swing. The Dutch event takes place on indoor hard courts from February 3 to 9, while the Buenos Aires tournament starts the following week. This changes the plans for Alcaraz, who will coincide with Jannik Sinner at this tournament.

Carlos Alcaraz is a boy with a lot of personality who knows how to enjoy life beyond tennis, even though this sport is his top priority. He expressed this in an interview with Relevo, reflecting on how to combine professionalism with enjoyment. The young man made it clear that he wants time for himself and works hard to enjoy life with his people. He acknowledged that competing in these tournaments is his big dream, but he does not want to be a slave to tennis, emphasizing the importance of disconnecting with his friends on those now famous trips to Ibiza.

Sometimes we might forget that he is only 21 years old, but reflections like those he shared in his conversation with TennisChannel bring us back to reality. Carlos Alcaraz is a young man very attached to his family, and he didn't hesitate to mention that his parents are not very keen on him getting tattoos with the date and something symbolic from each Grand Slam he wins. He still needs to get a tattoo of the Eiffel Tower and the date he won Roland Garros, and although he would like to continue, he believes it would be best to limit the tattoos to his first title in each Grand Slam, for his parents' peace of mind.
