Carlos Alcaraz’s father, Carlos Alcaraz González, was once a nationally ranked tennis player in Spain. Though his professional career was brief, he remained deeply involved in the sport, eventually becoming the tennis director at the Real Sociedad Club de Campo in El Palmar. It was on those clay courts that young Carlos first picked up a racket at age four. His father introduced him to tennis and coached him during his early years, helping shape his technique and passion for the game.
His mother Virginia Garfia provided stability and support
Virginia Garfia Escandón, Carlos’s mother, worked as a shop assistant at IKEA while raising four sons. Known for her quiet strength and nurturing presence, she played a vital role in keeping the family grounded. Carlos often speaks fondly of her cooking and the comfort of home life. Despite her preference for staying out of the spotlight, she has been present at key moments in Carlos’s career, including his Grand Slam victories.
His older brother Álvaro is a constant companion
Carlos’s eldest brother, Álvaro Alcaraz Garfia, once competed in junior doubles and now travels with Carlos as his hitting partner. The two share a close bond, often rooming together during tournaments and supporting each other through wins and losses. Álvaro’s presence offers Carlos both technical support and emotional stability on the road.
His younger brothers Sergio and Jaime are following in his footsteps
Carlos has two younger brothers, Sergio and Jaime, both of whom are involved in tennis. Jaime, the youngest, is already making waves in junior tournaments and has competed in prestigious events like Les Petits As and the Rafa Nadal Tour. Carlos has expressed pride in Jaime’s progress while urging others not to place too much pressure on him. Sergio, though less publicly visible, is also part of the family’s tennis tradition and often appears in Carlos’s player box during major matches.
A household built on shared passion and humility
The Alcaraz family lives together in El Palmar, and despite Carlos’s global fame, he continues to reside at home with his parents and siblings. This close-knit environment has helped him stay grounded and focused. Their collective love for tennis and unwavering support have shaped Carlos into not just a champion, but a humble and driven individual.
