Carlos Alcaraz beefed up on his English by binging Meghan Markle’s "Suits" series

NEW YORK—Carlos Alcaraz credited his rapidly-improving English to “watching series and movies” after his third-round victory at the 2025 US Open.

“A few years ago, I just coming here to the press conference sweating,” he said on Friday. “Like, ‘Okay, let's see if I'm going to understand the question. Let's see what I'm going to answer.’ So right now, I just feeling more comfortable.

Fresh off his fourth-round win over Arthur Rinderknech, the former world No. 1 gave us a quick peek at his streaming queue to wrap up his post-match press conference.

“I just watch Suits,” Alcaraz said, naming his favorite TV series. “Really good one. Long, but really good one.”

Starring actress-turned Duchess of Sussex Meghan Markle, the courtroom dramedy ran in the United States for nine seasons and 134 episodes, giving Alcaraz hours to feel more comfortable using legal jargon in every-day life.

“I've seen not too many series,” Alcaraz admitted. “I'm more a movie guy. “So, for example, the last one I'm watching is Pulp Fiction, a good one.

“I know it's old. I know it's old,” he added, drawing laughter from the press room. “But a lot of really good movies that I haven't watched, for example…Good Will Hunting, I love it.”

The 22-year-old is growing quite the Criteron Collection; now, if only he would share his Letterboxd account.
