Claudia Canals, reportedly dating Spanish tennis player Carlos Alcaraz, has shared images of herself in an animal-print bikini, seemingly from Spain, suggesting her absence from Alcaraz's U.S. Open matches. Fans have speculated about the pair's relationship since they were seen together on a boat in Italy in July. Canals, described as a Spanish entrepreneur and digital marketing professional, has seen increased social media attention following the sighting.

Canals posted the photos on Instagram with the caption "September." In some of the images, a menu from Restaurante Playa Grande in Barcelona is visible, indicating her location in Spain. Alcaraz competed in the first round of the U.S. Open on Monday, defeating Roman Safiullin in straight sets. He is scheduled to play his next match on Wednesday against Jaime Faria of Portugal.

Spain's Carlos Alcaraz prepares to warm up before playing Russia's Roman Safiullin in their men's singles first round tennis match at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center in New York on Aug. 31, 2026.

While Alcaraz progresses in the tournament, Canals appears to be occupied with her own endeavors. The report notes that while she has her own life and career, she might attend matches if Alcaraz advances further in the competition.
