Carlos Alcaraz: tennis, a family affair
Even though he’s single, Carlos Alcaraz can count on the support of his family, and especially that of his father, Carlos Alcaraz González. Because, yes, it was Virginia Garfia Escandon’s husband who passed on his great passion for tennis to his son. As revealed by our colleagues from Sportsmanshipon January 26, the sportsman’s father, who was also a professional tennis player in the early 1990s and who now runs a tennis club, has “played a decisive role” in the champion’s career. After having taught the basics of the sport to his offspring, Carlos Alcaraz Senior had notably recruited a former world number one, Juan Carlos Ferrera, to prepare him to integrate the high level. Since then, Carlos Alcaraz has risen through the ranks with disconcerting precocity under the admiring eyes of his parents and his three brothers.
