Anyone would want to immortalize the two memories, and Alcaraz did so in great fashion. For the 2022 US Open, he etched the date on his arm.

Aryna Sabalenka’s nickname, ‘The Tiger, ‘ is proving to be correct as she beats everyone in her sight to win her second slam title. The Belarusian player has the nickname because of the tattoo of Tiger that rests on her left arm.

Sabalenka was born in 1998, the Year of the Tiger. Therefore, getting a tiger tattoo was a no-brainer. When she presented it to her father, he laughed at her.

Furthermore, her mother was furious and did not speak to her for a week. While she did not like her choice at first, she now looks back fondly on it. The tattoo keeps her ferocious and quick on the court and has taken her to two grand slams.
