Spanish tennis sensation Carlos Alcaraz is back on top of the world-both on and off the court. The 22-year-old reclaimed the World No. 1 ranking after clinching his second US Open title with a commanding four-set victory over rival Jannik Sinner at Arthur Ashe Stadium on Sunday night. But it’s not just his tennis that’s grabbing headlines.
The 2025 US Open champion is now officially linked with American model Brooks Nader, following weeks of speculation and swirling tabloid rumours. The relationship was confirmed by Brooks’ younger sister, Grace Ann Nader, during an appearance at the Raising Cane’s New York Fashion Week show.
“The rumours are true,” Grace Ann told E! News. “Dating is such a loose term, but I do know he’s the man of the hour.”
A Grand Slam Season to Remember for Carlos Alcaraz
Alcaraz’s win over Sinner was a thrilling finale to what has been a blockbuster year in men’s tennis. The Spaniard defeated Sinner 6-2, 3-6, 6-1, 6-4 to secure his sixth career Grand Slam title, adding to his 2025 French Open win earlier this year. Sinner, meanwhile, had taken home the Australian Open and Wimbledon, setting up one of the fiercest rivalries in modern tennis.
This marks the second straight year the two young stars have shared the Grand Slam spoils, and with both at the top of their game, the Alcaraz–Sinner era is in full swing.
Off-Court Spotlight: Brooks and Carlos
While Alcaraz’s tennis has spoken for itself, his personal life took center stage at Flushing Meadows. Brooks Nader, 28, was seen supporting the Spaniard during his US Open campaign, notably attending his match against Arthur Rinderknech and later joining family and friends in the Cadillac Suite for the final.
Rumours of a possible relationship between Nader and fellow finalist Jannik Sinner had surfaced earlier, but those were quickly shut down. During a recent appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live, Brooks laughed off the speculation, refusing to name names but hinting that people were looking in the wrong direction.
Now, with Grace Ann Nader confirming the romance, the picture is clearer.
Alcaraz has reportedly already met Brooks’ sisters- Mary Holland and Sarah Jane Nader- and is said to be looking forward to meeting Grace Ann herself.

From Raducanu Rumours to Nader Confirmation
Earlier this year, Alcaraz was romantically linked to British tennis star Emma Raducanu, though both dismissed the reports, saying they shared a friendship built on mutual respect for their young careers.
Brooks Nader’s connection with Alcaraz seems to be the real deal, with insiders suggesting the couple has been seeing each other quietly for some time before becoming more public during the US Open.
