Carlos Alcaraz is already number six in the world, after his victory in the Mutua Madrid Open. But, above all, he is the great sensation of world tennis. You still don’t know him? We give you some details.
1. Alcaraz has just turned 19. He is Tauro. He was born in Palmar, a town in Murcia. He measures 1.85 and weighs 72 kilos. She picked up her first racket when she was 3 years old.
2.- His first coach was Carlos Santos Forest, who at 39 years old has a degree in Physical Education and Physiotherapy: «Carlos, from a very young age, had different things. He had so much fun on the track that he made mounds with the sand and when it came to playing he did it with those his age and with the older ones and he never seemed nervous.
He isolated himself when he jumped on the track and his winning spirit, which he has always had, made him enjoy when others suffered when they were observed.
3.- Alcaraz admires Rafael Nadal, how could it be otherwise, but he believes that his tennis is more similar to that of Federer than that of the Balearic tennis player. He himself has confessed it in some interviews that were done to him when he was a child, and that of his own Ferrero technician has also endorsed it.
4.- Juan charles ferrero opted for Carlos Alcaraz when he was proclaimed champion of the European sub-16, in 2018. Since then they have been nail and flesh, to the point of living in the same prefabricated house, cabin type, within the JC Ferrero Equelite Academy, founded by his coach, in which Ferrero himself lived when he started playing tennis.
5.- Alcaraz trains hard morning and afternoon, with a powerful gym routine, but he is also a lover of siestas, the few times he can take it. When I was little played chess with his grandfather, as he confessed to the Vocento newspaper ‘La Verdad: “You have to be focused all the time, if you get lost for a moment you can solve the game and in that it is very similar to tennis”.
6.- Alcaraz is a lover of golf, a sport that he practices in his spare time. He is also a fan of Real Madrid. Last week he saw a match live for the first time at the Santiago Bernabéu. Well, specifically, two. The victory against Espanyol that gave the whites the league and the comeback against City that put Madrid in the Champions League final

9.- He is a fairly simple person, who enjoys life like any other boy his age, although in many cases he cannot have the routine of a normal boy. It is what he has to be an elite athlete so precocious. When he has a few days off, he travels to Murcia to hang out with your family and friends. She loves going out with them and eating a good hamburger.
10.- Carlos Alcaraz he has a baccalaureatebut, for the moment, he has not started to study any university career because he understands that his current role as an elite tennis player is not going to allow him to do so.
