“I think an athlete’s journey is emotional, but I think also seeing the beautiful friendships that we create, the bonds, and then – through rivalry – they can be quite unbreakable actually,” Roger Federer said, upon the release of his documentary. Being chosen for a film is nothing less than an achievement as it takes a big and bold story to be converted into a film. Amid consistent comparisons of the young champs to the big three, a surprising update recently emerged for Carlos Alcaraz fans.

Netflix has officially announced a new documentary series chronicling the incredible 2024 season of the youngest no. 1 player in tennis history, Carlos Alcaraz. Produced by Morena Films, the series will follow the Spanish tennis star through his historic year along with capturing major tournaments, victories, and behind-the-scenes moments. Directed by Jorge Laplace and produced by Juan Gordon, with Alex Martinez Roig as executive producer, the series would break in with a detailed look into Alcaraz’s rise.

Jorge Laplace himself shared the major update on Instagram, saying, “Also on the way from Netflix is Alcaraz, a Spanish documentary series produced by Morena Films (La Liga: All Access) following Spanish tennis star Carlos Alcaraz, the youngest No. 1 player in the sport’s history, during the 2024 season. The series is directed by Jorge Laplace and produced by Juan Gordon, with Alex Martinez Roig serving as executive producer.”

Netflix had earlier teased fans on its official X handle with the post, saying, “Good morning to the Wimbledon champ. An all-new documentary series chronicling Carlos Alcaraz’s 2024 season is coming to Netflix in 2025!” Now, the update is confirmed, coming from one of the members of the team. The series will feature highlights from every moment of Alcaraz’s amazing year.

Alcaraz’s achievements in 2024 turned out to be historic. He began his dominance at the Indian Wells Masters, also known as the “fifth Grand Slam.” The Spaniard took down Daniil Medvedev in the final. This momentum continued to exist at the French Open in June, where he claimed his first Roland Garros title. After a tough semi-final against Jannik Sinner, he secured another massive victory over Alexander Zverev in the final to finally clinch the dream title.

Alcaraz made history again in July by adding another Wimbledon title to his portfolio. He defeated Novak Djokovic in straight sets along with achieving the rare “Channel Slam” by claiming both Wimbledon and the French Open in the same year. He added another feat by triumphing at the China Open after a hard-fought final against Jannik Sinner. Netflix cameras followed Alcaraz to every tournament. Now, with all summed up, there is a documentary coming up.
