With tenacity, mastery and following the faithful
advice of Juan Carlos Ferrero
(42), Carlos Alcaraz (18) is predestined to take over the throne from the king of the clay court Rafa Nadal (35) who has written on his official Twitter account:
"Many congratulations Carlitos for your historic victory
in Miami. The first of many to come, for sure."
Nadal repeated the formula last Sunday, when Alcaraz won the Barcelona Open Banc Sabadell.
"Congratulations to Carlos for the title in Barcelona. Also to Pablo Carreño for the final. A spectacular week for both of them and for Spanish tennis that once again has a winner."
The man from Manacor is proud that his teammate from Murcia has won titles.
And from king to king.
Felipe VI also wanted to congratulate
him through social networks: "Your passion on the court fuels our enthusiasm for the future of Spanish tennis."
Born in the district of
El Palmar,
Carlos Alcaraz is a hero.
But also an
ordinary young man
who usually takes refuge in his land to disconnect and enjoy a delicious hamburger with his friends, take
long walks in the mountains,
play golf, go fishing or simply sit on the sofa to watch the game. to his favorite team, Real Madrid.
His father Carlos bought him
his first racket when he was three years old.
It is not for nothing that he is the director of the Country Club tennis school.
His two little brothers,
Sergio and Jaime, dream of becoming like him.
He has another older brother, Álvaro.
Those who know him assure that Carlos is
very mature, resilient,
he has always had things clear and does not neglect his studies despite the fact that
he had to leave school
at the age of 14.
Although he cannot go to class like any other student, he tries to
make videoconferences with his tutor
from anywhere in the world and hand in homework at airports, hotels or wherever his tennis career takes him.

He sleeps in a simple cabin
at the Juan Carlos Ferrero Equelite Academy in Villena (Alicante), trains between five and six hours every day and a team of
physiotherapists and dieticians
pamper him carefully, but without pampering him.
With his 185 cm height and 72 kilos of weight, Carlos raises passions everywhere.
Especially because of his
sensitivity
- as soon as he won in Miami he hugged Ferrero, who recently lost his father - and his ingenuity.
When he arrived in Melbourne he had to quarantine in the hotel, so to keep fit he trained by putting the mattress against the wall.
Those traits he has inherited from his mother, Virginia.

His paternal grandfather is his number one fan.
Ever since she hit the professional slopes, she cuts out all the news that comes out about his grandson.
At home they are proud because he has not lost any of his values.
He is generous, educated, caring, a dreamer...
and down to earth.
From the humble origins of his parents, he has learned that money must be given the right value at all times, which is why the young athlete does not bother his head with investments.
What he earns is managed
by his father and, although he has promised to treat himself after earning just over 1.1 million euros, for now he has invested in
driving license classes.
