Did you know that tennis is something that has been a part of Alcaraz’s family for decades? Not only that, but it’s the 20-year-old Spaniard’s grandfather who paved the way for his tennis success.

The current world-ranked two tennis player’s father was a professional tennis player, but tennis is something that has been in the family. While his father was a national-ranked tennis player in Spain, when Carlos Alcaraz’s career began, his father stopped playing professionally, because he could not afford to sustain both careers.
It was the two-time Grand Slam Champion’s grandfather who built a tennis court in the village of El Palmar in Spain. Moreover, when Carlos was young, he learned the sport in the same arena and gained the knowledge to stand where he is today. However, it nearly took three generations for the Alcaraz family to make a breakthrough in the sport, which apparently started when Carlos’ grandfather showed interest in tennis.
