Who is Maria Gonzalez Gimenez?
Born in Murcia, Spain, Maria Gonzalez Giminez is the rumoured girlfriend of Carlos Alcaraz.
Although some reports claim tennis ace Alcaraz is currently single, others link him with the beautiful athlete and student.
Maria studies law at the University of Murcia, where she’s trying to earn a bilingual degree.
She has decided to keep a lot of her personal information and her love life out of the public eye.
However, Tennis Tonic shared a screenshot of an Instagram story posted on Alcaraz’s account where the two shared an intimate moment.
Maria also has the same sporting interest as her alleged boyfriend and plays for Murcia Club de Tenis – a tennis club located in Spain.
This is confirmed in her IG bio where Maria has displayed “MCT” followed by a tennis racket and ball.
It also states that she speaks two languages and has a link to her TikTok page.
One video features her playing tennis on a clay court, with the caption translated as “here throwing some balls with my colleague”.
She also posts fun videos with her friends, including dance routines.
As of August 2023 she has 1090 followers on TikTok and around 14,000 on Instagram.
What does Maria Gonzalez Gimenez do?
Similar to her love life, Maria has decided to keep her occupation out of the limelight.
However, in one TikTok video posted in May 2022 during the Covid-19 pandemic, the caption reads that she had an upcoming civil exam.
She shared the news with a funny “ugly crying” video, sitting on an empty-looking ferry with a pal.
Maria also shared a video of herself in class with pals all wearing masks in early March 2022.
