Wimbledon kicks off at the All England Club today, and defending men’s champion Carlos Alcaraz is chasing a rare third straight title as he looks to add to his already illustrious résumé.
The 22-year-old Spaniard has also been announced as evian’s latest ambassador and joins the water brand alongside his and doubles partner, Emma Raducanu. Over the weekend at Wimbledon – before the action started – evian celebrated its new partnership and the pair were spotted in good spirits during a light practice.
Known for his boundless energy and positive mindset, Alcaraz is a natural fit for evian’s longstanding “Live Young” campaign, with the brand saying he “perfectly embodies [its] mission to promote a lifestyle rooted in wellness, vitality, and optimism.”
“Carlitos” – as he’s affectionately known to his fans as – turned pro at just 15 and became the youngest ever world No. 1 at 19 years old. He’s also the first player to win ATP 500 singles titles on all four of the sport’s official surfaces – clay, grass, and indoor and outdoor hard courts – and, with his career still very much in its infancy, he’s already seventh on the list of all-time earnings.
Hypebeast had a behind-the-scenes tour of the world famous lawn tennis club before the tournament kicked off. We caught up with Carlitos to ask about his style, both on the court and off, how he stays focused, his thoughts on the women’s game (and what Emma might think about his), and what he does in his downtime.
