Alcaraz came back from two sets down to beat Jannik Sinner 4-6 6-7 6-4 7-6 7-6 in five hours and 29 minutes - setting a new record for the longest ever Roland Garros final in the process.
Following his triumph, the Spaniard jetted to party island Ibiza to let his hair down with his pals.
During his trip, Alcaraz posed for a snap with friend Sergio Reguilon - who captioned it: "Traditions."
The full-back, 28, is set to be a free agent at the end of this month following his Tottenham release.
Reguilon is a huge tennis fan, and can usually be found at the Madrid Masters event each April.
The Spain international also attended Roland Garros last month alongside former Brentford team-mate Bryan Mbeumo.
Alcaraz is scheduled to begin his Wimbledon preparations at Queen's next week.
The reigning SW19 champion is not expected in West London until Saturday.

Alcaraz also headed to Ibiza following the French Open in 2023 and 2024.
In both years, he returned refreshed, winning the Wimbledon men's singles title each time.
The recent Netflix documentary, entitled "Carlos Alcaraz: My Way" revealed that the star's coaches were unhappy with his decision to head to Ibiza.
But Alcaraz overruled them, admitting: "I had a friend who had a few days off, going to Ibiza with other friends.
"I ended up going and they know what I'm going there to do.
"In Ibiza, I'm not going to lie, it's pretty much all about partying and going out.
"I basically went there to burst.
"I'm not sure if that's the best way to put it but I went there to go out."
'THE PLAN IS TO PLAY'
Alcaraz's coach Juan Carlos Ferrero has revealed that his pupil still plans to play Queen's, where he lost to Britain's Jack Draper in 2024.
Ferrero told Spanish outlet El Larguero: "The plan is to play, but we'll make a final decision in a few days.
"We talked about it mid-tournament, and Carlos told us he was looking forward to going.
"After these days of rest, on Thursday or Friday, we'll do a test to see how he feels physically and mentally."

Watch awkward moment Love Island stars sneak out of bedroom for steamy night in the Hideaway
THE Love Island villa is set to be rocked tonight as two stars decide to sneak away for a night alone in the hideaway. The Sun told early this week how blonde air hostess Helena Ford, 29, and semi-pro footballer Harry Cooksley, 30, snuck off and the scenes will play out on screen tonight. 6 6 6 In a first look from the episode Harry is seen telling Helena to tap his foot on the way out. But things don't go quite according to plan and most of the other islander spot them sneaking away - including a bemused Shakira Khan, who was sharing a bed with him. A source previously told The Sun: 'This is the fastest sleepover in the Hideaway in Love Island's twelve series history - and what a gorgeous pair to do so. 'In the past, producers had to invite Islanders to use the breakout bedroom which meant the love nest was generally not used until couples became more established. 'But producers have changed the rules of the breakout bedroom so it can be used at any time, without an invite. 'It means Helena and Harry could take advantage of the 'no invite needed' and explore their connection. 'The scenes will play out later this week, but bosses are unlikely to show anything too naughty, as is the show's usual approach.' Earlier in the episode - Harry discovers that Shakira and Blu had shared a kiss in the hideaway. Dejon says: 'You know he (Blu) kissed her (Shakira)?' Harry replies: 'No he didn't…I don't believe what I'm hearing.' Harry then asks Shakira about the kiss with Blu before telling her: 'All that matters is I want to pursue things with you.' Harry later hears Blu's side of the story, with Blu telling him: 'We had two kisses, where's your head at? It seems to me your with Helena more and flirting?' Harry says: 'I think it's more flirty, but I think Shakira's got more substance.' 6 6 6

Tottenham to name Thomas Frank as head coach after agreeing deal with Brentford
Tottenham Hotspur have finally struck an agreement with Brentford to make Thomas Frank the clubs next head coach, it is understood. Spurs quickly set their sights on Frank after Postecoglou was sacked last week – only 16 days after he secured Europa League success – and made an official approach to Brentford on Monday. Discussions between Tottenham and Brentford initially centred on Frank's current terms at the west London club, which were set to run until the summer of 2027 and contained a release clause reportedly in the region of £10million. Further talks were required over which backroom staff Frank would take to Spurs but, after days of negotiations, a deal was struck with Brentford on Thursday, it is understood. Highly-rated Brentford first-team coach Justin Cochrane is set to follow Frank to Tottenham and in the process return to the club where he started his coaching journey. London-born Cochrane has been part of Frank's backroom staff since 2022, after he initially developed as a coach in Spurs' youth-team before a spell at Manchester United. Cochrane, 43, has earned a reputation as one of the brightest coaches in England and earlier this year joined Thomas Tuchel's coaching staff for the national team alongside his role at Brentford under Frank. Frank would take over a Spurs side which won a trophy for the first time since 2008 with victory in the Europa League final last month but finished 17th in the Premier League. The ex-Brondby boss has transformed Brentford during his seven-year spell in charge, with promotion from the Championship in 2021 followed by him establishing the club as a Premier League regular despite a modest budget. Christian Eriksen, who played under Frank at Brentford and starred during a seven-year spell at Spurs, backed his compatriot to be a success at his former club. 'I think he is the right coach for Tottenham,' Eriksen told Danish newspaper Ekstra Bladet. 'I have had Thomas at various times and I think he is the perfect match for Tottenham, and it would be great if Thomas takes on that challenge. 'His personality, his way of playing and his way of being. And the club considering where they were last season – they won a trophy of course – but they are in the process of building something up, and I am sure that Thomas is a good man to bring in.'
