VILLENA, SPAIN: A rising star in the world of professional tennis, Carlos Alcaraz's height is regarded as average for a tennis player, standing tall at 6ft 1 inch (185cm/1.85 m).

As per The US Sun, Alcaraz is of the same height as the legendary Spanish tennis player Rafael Nadal.

"Height is particularly important in tennis as it makes a player’s service harder to return because of the power, height and bounce that can be generated by the server," as per CNN.

Alcaraz has an advantage in terms of reach and power due to his height. His physique becomes an important asset on the court when combined with his weight of approximately 163lbs (74 kg).

Carlos Alcaraz's height compared to other tennis players

Alcaraz's height is average for a tennis player as compared with the big four: Roger Federer, Nadal, Novak Djokovic and Andy Murray.

Federer is also 6 ft 1 inch (185 cm/1.85m) tall. For a regular man, this might be quite tall, but for a professional tennis player, it is quite normal.

Although Nadal is big and imposing in person, he seems quite short on screen. He too stands at a height of 6ft 1 inch (185 cm/1.85m).

At a height of 6ft 2 inches (1.88 m/188cm), Djokovic is an inch taller than his two competitors.

With 17 Grand Slam wins, Djokovic is close to Federer (17) and Nadal (19), so it will be interesting to see what the Serb accomplishes in the years to come.

Murray is the tallest of the four players at 6ft 3 inches (1.9 m/190.50 cm). He's another person who does not look particularly tall on TV yet is much taller than average.

Alcaraz is much shorter than Ivo Karlovic, who stands at 6ft 11 inches (2.10 m/210 cm) and is one of the tallest players of all time. He reportedly has a serve speed of up to 156mph.

Does Carlos Alcaraz have a girlfriend?

Maria Gonzalez Giminez, a native of Murcia, Spain, is Alcaraz's rumored girlfriend.

Alcaraz is said to be dating the athlete and student, despite some reports claiming the tennis star is currently single.

Giminez is currently pursuing a bilingual degree as she studies law at the University of Murcia.

Though Giminez has chosen to keep a lot of her personal details and her love life private, Tennis Tonic provided a screenshot of an Instagram story posted on Alcaraz's account of the two having an intimate moment.

Giminez plays tennis for the Murcia Club de Tenis, a tennis club in Spain, and shares the same love of sports as her alleged partner.

Alcaraz's rumored girlfriend has chosen to keep her career out of the spotlight, much like her love life.

Has Carlos Alcaraz ever played Novak Djokovic?

Next week, the US Open will have a Broadway vibe thanks to Alcaraz and Djokovic as tennis's most heated rivalry takes center stage in 2023's last Grand Slam.

The world's top two players may not meet in person at Flushing Meadows, but it is clearly the matchup that everyone hopes will occur in the men's final on September 10.

The Djokovic-Alcaraz rivalry has grown to a Federer-Nadal frenzy despite the duo having only faced off four times, driving up ticket costs through the retractable roof of Arthur Ashe Stadium.
