Carlos Alcaraz Dating Rumors: What We Know About Claudia Canals
Spanish tennis star Carlos Alcaraz has returned to the 2026 US Open, reigniting interest not only in his pursuit of another Grand Slam title but also in his personal life. Speculation has intensified around a potential relationship with Claudia Canals, a Barcelona-based entrepreneur, though neither party has confirmed the rumors.
How the Dating Rumors Started
The speculation began in July 2026 when photographs surfaced showing Alcaraz and Canals together on a yacht during the player’s summer break along the Amalfi Coast in Italy. Spanish media outlets subsequently identified Canals as the woman accompanying the tennis champion.
According to reports from Spain, the pair had known each other since early summer and had spent time together. However, the yacht outing included a group of friends, meaning the images alone do not confirm a romantic relationship. As of early September 2026, Alcaraz remains officially single, and neither he nor Canals has issued a public statement regarding their connection. Media outlets continue to describe Canals as his rumored girlfriend rather than a confirmed partner.
Who Is Claudia Canals?
Canals is a Spanish entrepreneur and digital marketing professional from Barcelona. She founded CC Studio, a business specializing in content creation, social media strategy, and brand development. Her Instagram account, which has amassed over 45,000 followers, features lifestyle and fashion content. The July 2026 photos with Alcaraz brought her wider international recognition beyond Spain.
Context: Alcaraz’s Return from Injury
The timing of the speculation coincides with Alcaraz’s recovery from a wrist injury that sidelined him for several months during the 2026 season. The extended layoff provided the world No. 1 with an unusual off-court break before his return to competitive tennis. Throughout his rehabilitation, Alcaraz has maintained privacy regarding his personal life while fans and media have closely monitored the rumors.
Focus Shifts Back to the Court
With the 2026 US Open underway, attention returns to Alcaraz’s quest to defend his title. The 23-year-old Spaniard enters the tournament after a challenging season interrupted by injury, aiming to add a third Grand Slam championship to his resume. For now, Claudia Canals remains linked to Alcaraz only through unverified reports, with no official confirmation from either side.
