Love is in the air for tennis fans as Carlos Alcaraz, the newly crowned US Open champion and world No. 1, is reportedly dating Sports Illustrated model Brooks Nader.
The revelation comes after Nader previously dismissed rumors linking her to Alcaraz’s on-court rival, Jannik Sinner.
Confirmation From Family
The news was confirmed by Nader’s sister, Grace Ann, during an appearance at the Raising Cane’s New York Fashion Week Show.
“The rumors are true,” she said. “Dating is such a loose term. But I do know he’s the man of the hour.”
Grace Ann also shared that while Alcaraz has already met some of her sisters, she has yet to meet the tennis superstar herself — though she is clearly eager to do so.
“I’m dying to,” she added. “Such a cutie.”
Hints From Jimmy Kimmel
The romance rumors began swirling last week when Brooks Nader made a cryptic comment during an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live.
She had been spotted at the US Open, fueling speculation she was dating a tennis player.
Grace Ann initially teased fans by suggesting the athlete’s name “rhymes with winner,” sparking guesses that it might be Jannik Sinner.
Kimmel even showed Nader a photo of her with Stephen Colbert and playfully asked if she was dating Sinner.
Nader, laughing nervously, replied: “You’re warm but we weren’t at that match,” leaving viewers intrigued without giving a direct answer.
As it turns out, she had been watching Alcaraz in action on day eight of the tournament.
Past Relationships
Brooks Nader is currently single after her split from Gleb Savchenko in April, whom she met on Dancing with the Stars.
Alcaraz had previously been linked to British tennis star Emma Raducanu, with their partnership in last month’s US Open mixed doubles tournament sparking romance rumors.
Meanwhile, Sinner is also single after ending his relationship earlier this year with Russian tennis player Anna Kalinskaya.
A New Chapter for Alcaraz
With the US Open behind him and a potential new romance blossoming, Alcaraz seems to be thriving both on and off the court.
Fans are watching closely as the 22-year-old tennis star navigates his first year as world No. 1, balancing high-stakes matches with new personal milestones.
