We all understand how crucial it is to grow up in a loving, supportive environment if one hopes to succeed in life. Similar circumstances apply to athletes, particularly young ones like Alcaraz. Carlos Alcaraz Gonzalez and Virginia Garfia, who reside in El Palmar, Murcia, Spain, are the parents of the Spaniard. He was born in 2003, and he celebrates his birthday on May 5, which typically coincides with the Mutua Madrid Open.
Alcaraz’s father used to play tennis, and when he was a young boy of four, he was first introduced to the sport by him. Rafael Nadal was Alcaraz’s childhood hero, someone he looked up to, and someone he aspired to be like.
During a recent interview with Vogue, Carlito conceded that his father was a big inspiration for him saying that he was born “with tennis in my blood.”
Alcaraz’s father became the director of a local tennis club which gave the opportunity to Carlito to improve his tennis. Back in the days, his father played professional tennis until he couldn’t afford to continue his career.
