A career on the rise: Carlos Alcaraz and his family influence
Carlos Alcaraz, at just 21 years old, has established himself as one of the brightest names in Spanish tennis. However, behind his rapid rise is a constant and loyal support: his family. Especially, his older brother, Álvaro, has been a fundamental pillar in this successful trajectory.
The crucial role of Álvaro Alcaraz
Álvaro, 24, shares a special relationship with Carlos. Although his current life is centered around tennis, Álvaro had a past marked by football, where he developed his athletic skills long before he ventured onto the tennis courts.
From soccer to tennis courts
After dedicating himself to soccer and futsal, Álvaro has found his true passion on the tennis courts. Thus, he and his brothers have been involved in this sport since childhood, and Álvaro now dedicates himself to training new players as a tennis instructor, contributing to the growth of local tennis in Murcia.
A union of values and competition
With his experience in soccer, Álvaro has successfully transitioned to tennis and is now an active part of Carlos’ team. Their task is not only limited to sparring, but also to provide emotional support, creating a familiar atmosphere that helps Carlos stay focused and motivated.
Emotional support at key moments
Álvaro expressed his dedication during an interview, noting that his presence seeks to ensure that Carlos feels in a familiar environment, regardless of the pressure of the tournaments. This complicity between brothers has proven to be a formula for success on and off the court.
Beyond tennis: family values
Carlos, who is also aware of the importance of his family, seeks to instill values in his younger brothers, Sergio and Jaime. The latter, at just 12 years old, already stands out in tennis at youth level. Carlos wants his brothers to see him as a role model, not just as a champion, but as a good brother.
Looking to the future: Álvaro’s aspirations
Álvaro’s transition from soccer to tennis has not only enriched his life, but also contributed to Carlos’ success. With the aim of continuing to develop his skills and to remain the unconditional support of his brother, Álvaro is preparing to face new challenges in the world of tennis.
