PARIS (Reuters) - Carlos Alcaraz is envisaging an Olympic tattoo if he wins the gold medal in Paris, extending the Spaniard's tradition of marking his skin with his major victories.
The world number 3 has already three tattoos in memory of his first three Grand Slams, the U.S. Open, Wimbledon and the French Open, after which he put a large Eiffel tower above his left ankle.
"If I win on Sunday we will see, but most likely yes, but there is one step left, there is a match that is a great mountain," the 21-year-old said on Friday after he thrashed Canadian Felix Auger-Aliassime in the semi finals.
Alcaraz will meet the winner of the match between first-seeded Novak Djokovic and Italian Lorenzo Musetti in final.
