Alcaraz plans Eiffel Tower tattoo to mark Paris destiny

In the lead-up to his first French Open final, a photo reappeared of a 12-year-old Carlos Alcaraz sat in front of the Eiffel Tower watching the tournament on a big screen.

Now Alcaraz plans to have a tattoo of the iconic landmark as a permanent reminder of winning the tournament he loved as a child.

The 21-year-old Spaniard claimed the Grand Slam title many thought he was destined to lift with a five-set victory over Germany's Alexander Zverev on Sunday.

"It will be on the left ankle - the Eiffel Tower and today's date," Alcaraz said.
