Carlos Alcaraz may have lost the Cincinnati Masters, but his family’s presence in the stands made him feel better. Carlos thanked his elder brother, Alvaro Alcaraz, after the match. Carlos Alcaraz has three brothers, all of whom have a passion for tennis. His youngest brother, Jaime Alcaraz, has made a name in the junior circuit and recently won the under-12 division Rafa Nadal tour.
Jaime is eleven years old and was last seen at Wimbledon with his father, Carlos Alcaraz Gonzalez. Alcaraz’s father was also a professional player but could not continue his career due to sponsorship issues.
Now he has been guiding Jaime into the sport. He was training at the Tatoi Club in 2022. Last year, he was also invited to the IMG Future Stars Invitational Tournament in Greece.
Jaime also played an exhibition match with Alcaraz against Hubert Hurkcaz last season. The soon-to-be teenager also played a singles match in the event. Jamie’s elder brother, Sergio Alcaraz, is not yet known to be involved in the sport.
Alcaraz’s mother, Virginia Garfia Escandon, has also constantly supported her son’s career. Alvaro is the oldest of the children, born in 1999.
Tennis career of Alvaro Alcaraz
The Alcaraz family has always been into tennis. Alvaro has played two professional matches in the sport so far. He has partnered with Sergio Noguera Navarro and Fernando Perez-Rodenas Herrera in a match each. Alvaro lost both matches in clay ITF events. He played the matches in 2020 in Spain and has not played a match ever since.
The 23-year-old also played a singles match in 2019, losing to Sergi Perez Contri. The match was held in Spain and was an ITF clay event. It is unclear whether he will return to the sport since it has been almost three years since he played a competitive match. He has been one of Alcaraz’s prominent supporters and has been present in most of his recent matches.
Alvaro has also been with his brother in practice sessions alongside coach Juan Carlos Ferrero. He was in the audience when Alcaraz won his first Wimbledon title last month.
Alvaro has been known to help Alcaraz, as he used to play the sport. The family has been very supportive in terms of understanding the schedule of World No. 1.
