Remember Steffi Graf’s iconic 1996 Wimbledon moment? The 22-time Grand Slam champion paused for laughs after a fan’s proposal, joking, “How much money do you have?” The crowd erupted. Fast forward to Melbourne, and history echoes again, as Carlos Alcaraz faced peak tension at the Australian Open, only this time, three marriage proposals rang out at once.
Carlos Alcaraz faced an unusual distraction during his Australian Open round of 16 match against American Tommy Paul. In the middle of the tense contest, three marriage proposals came from the crowd almost at once. One woman shouted, “Carlos, marry my daughter.”
Moments later, another voice followed with, “Marry my sister-in-law.” Within seconds, the stadium erupted in laughter when a third fan boldly yelled, “Marry me,” briefly turning pressure into pure comedy.
The lighthearted moment eased the tension on the court. Alcaraz smiled as the crowd enjoyed the unexpected interruption. For a brief instant, the high-stakes match took a back seat to humor and spontaneity.
Such scenes are not new for the Spanish star. Marriage proposals have followed Alcaraz at several events as his popularity continues to soar. His growing fame has made him a favorite not only for his tennis but also for his charm.
At the end of 2023, Alcaraz defeated Roberto Bautista Agut at the Carlos Alcaraz Cup exhibition match in Murcia. He won 7-6 (1), 1-6, and 10-7 after nearly two hours. During the match, as he prepared to serve, a fan suddenly shouted, “Carlitos, marry me!” Alcaraz laughed before continuing to play.
The trend continued into 2024. Alcaraz received another proposal while signing autographs in the streets of Turin. This happened after his second win at the ATP Finals, where he defeated Andrey Rublev.
During that moment, a fan known as trentotogradii on X shared the interaction online. She asked Alcaraz, “casate conmigo,” which means marry me in Spanish. The question made him shy, but he laughed it off.
She then asked if he had heard her clearly. Alcaraz confirmed that he had. The fan later posted a selfie with him on social media, adding to another memorable chapter in his growing stardom.
