Spanish tennis sensation Carlos Alcaraz has a new girlfriend: Sports Illustrated model Brooks Nader, it has been revealed.
The 28-year-old's sister Grace Ann has spilled the beans about the new romance, telling E! News that the 22-year-old athlete is indeed "the man of the hour."
"The rumours are true," Grace Ann revealed at the Raising Cane's New York Fashion Week Show, though she noted that "dating is such a loose term."
The confirmation puts to rest speculation about Brooks' love life and as well as Alcaraz's reported relationship with Emma Raducanu.

The romance news comes just a week after Brooks shut down whispers that she was seeing Alcaraz's on-court rival Jannik Sinner.
During a September 2 appearance on Jimmy Kimmel's show, the Dancing with the Stars alum played coy when the host showed her a photo from the US Open.
"You're close," she teased when Kimmel asked if she was dating Sinner. "You're warm, but we weren't at that match."

It turns out Brooks was actually watching Alcaraz play against France's Arthur Rinderknech that day, dropping a massive hint about her real romantic interest.
The Spanish tennis ace has already charmed two of Brooks' three sisters during their budding romance.
Mary Holland Nader, 26, and Sarah Jane Nader, 23, have both had the chance to meet the newly-crowned US Open champion, though Grace Ann hasn't been so lucky yet.

"I'm dying to," she gushed about meeting her sister's new beau. "Such a cutie."
The model, who split from Dancing with the Stars partner Gleb Savchenko earlier this year, hasn't publicly confirmed the relationship herself.
But with family approval already flowing and introductions being made, it seems things are moving along nicely for the new couple.

Alcaraz has previously opened up about the challenges of finding love while competing on the professional tennis circuit.
"I am single. I am looking for someone," he told The Sunday Times in July 2024. "It can be difficult as a tennis player to meet the right person because you are travelling all the time."
The world No1 has always prioritised his tight-knit family, who he lives with in Spain.
"When I finish a tournament, it doesn't matter if I win or not, I just want to get home to be with my family," he shared. "To them I am not a big tennis star, just a normal guy."
