Carlos Alcaraz usually has his dad with him at tournaments, but his mom often stays home.
His father and older brother, Alvaro, who is also his hitting partner, travel with him. This leaves many wondering why his mom isn’t there too.
Alcaraz explained before the 2024 Wimbledon Championships that his mother stays home to care for his two younger siblings who are still in school.
Family Dynamics:
Life as a tennis player means constantly being on the move and rarely being at home. The Alcaraz family splits their responsibilities to manage this lifestyle.

One reason Carlos rushes back home after events is because he misses them. To his family, he’s just another member, not a tennis star.
“One of the things about tennis is that you travel a lot and my dad and older brother come with me. My older brother is my hitting partner.”
“But Mum can’t come because she is looking after the two little ones. So getting home is great because I miss them. The longer you are away, the more you realise how much you need them.”
Fans might think it’s sweet how much Carlos values time with his family.
One of Carlos’s younger brothers, Jaime, shows promise in tennis too. Maybe soon we’ll see two Alcaraz brothers on the ATP Tour! It’s said Jaime might even be better than Carlos was at that age—exciting news for both fans and their parents!
What do you think about Carlos’s close bond with his family?
