Add BollywoodShaadis on GoogleCarlos Alcaraz battled Ben Shelton in a dramatic US Open quarterfinal, and the defending champion's personal life has also become a major talking point, especially as he continues to claim that he is single. The latest buzz surrounding the 23-year-old Spanish tennis star's dating life involves the name of Claudia Canals, a Spanish model, entrepreneur and social media personality. The pair was photographed together on a luxury yacht off Italy earlier this summer.
Neither Alcaraz nor Canals has confirmed that they are in a relationship. Still, the photographs and their reported time together have fueled growing speculation about a possible romance. Amid the buzz making the rounds, take a look at the woman allegedly cheering for the tennis star from behind the scenes.
Who is Claudia Canals, the woman being linked to Carlos Alcaraz?
Canals is a Spanish entrepreneur and digital marketing professional who has built a following through social media. She regularly shares fashion, lifestyle, and glamour-focused content, including swimsuit photographs. She has also appeared on the Spanish version of the reality dating show Temptation Island. She is the founder of CC Studio, a strategic creative and communication agency specializing in content curation, storytelling, influencer management, campaign launches, and much more.
While Canals has nothing to do with sports, it was her connection to Alcaraz that put her firmly in the tennis spotlight. In July 2026, Alcaraz and Canals were photographed together aboard a yacht off the Amalfi Coast in Italy. Spanish magazine SEMANA subsequently published a 22-page photo spread documenting their time together in more detail.
If the report is to be believed, the pair shared tender and intimate moments while spending several days along the Italian coastline. Other people were reportedly present during the yacht trip, so the photographs do not independently confirm that Alcaraz and Canals are romantically involved.
Canals has also not made the tennis star part of her public Instagram presence. She has not publicly confirmed the relationship, posted a photograph with him, or tagged him in connection with the dating rumors. She also appears to have remained in Spain while Alcaraz traveled to New York for the US Open, prompting some fans to question whether the rumored romance has continued.
The latest attention came after Canals joined a social media trend involving artificial intelligence. She reportedly used ChatGPT to create an image showing what she might have looked like in the 1980s. The result featured a voluminous hairstyle, oversized gold earrings, and an acid-wash denim jacket. Her Instagram activity has attracted even more attention as fans continue trying to determine whether she and Alcaraz are actually a couple.
Carlos Alcaraz's dating history has always sparked speculation
Alcaraz has repeatedly kept his romantic life private, maintaining that he is single. However, that hasn't stopped the rumor mills from churning. Before Claudia, he was linked to fellow Spanish tennis player Maria Gonzalez Gimenez, although neither publicly confirmed the relationship. He has also been romantically linked to Emma Raducanu, Peggy Gou and Brooks Nader at different points, with several of those rumors being denied or left unconfirmed.
Alcaraz has also spoken openly about why relationships can be difficult for him. In a 2023 interview with Vogue, he explained that constantly traveling for tennis makes it difficult to find someone who can share his life. He later said he was single and looking for someone, noting that his demanding schedule made dating complicated.
Meanwhile, Alcaraz continues to deliver at the US Open, facing American star Ben Shelton in the quarterfinal round at Arthur Ashe Stadium. Alcaraz claimed the opening set 7-6 (5) after a tense tiebreak, but Shelton responded with an emphatic 6-1 victory in the second set. The American then carried that momentum into the third, winning 6-3.
Alcaraz produced a huge response in the fourth set. He raced through it 6-1 to force a deciding fifth. However, Shelton ultimately emerged as the winner, wrapping up at 03:33 AM local time in New York after a grueling 4 hours and 28 minutes. He will now advance to the semifinals to face Frances Tiafoe, who defeated Alex Michelsen to reach the last four.
