Unfortunately, the Spanish tennis star didn’t participate in the Australian Open 2023 due to an injury. If it weren’t for the injury, we might’ve got to watch the teenager against the current world no.1, Novak Djokovic.
In the ongoing Madrid Open, Alcaraz has entered the Round of 16, defeating Grigor Dimitrov. He will face world no.16 Alexander Zverev next, with Zvrev hoping to get revenge against Alcaraz for last year’s defeat in the finals.

His father, Carlos Alcaraz Sr, is a former tennis player. At one point, was one of the top 40 players in Spain. Alcaraz Sr. was also the one who instilled a love for tennis in his son.
He would take his sons to play in the Real Sociedad Club de Campo de Murcia tennis academy, where he was the director. Carlos Sr certainly played a major role in Carlo’s formative years.
