Family and home are paramount in the French Open champion's life.
Carlos Alcaraz was 'born with tennis in his blood,' he told The New York Times.
His grandfather built a tennis club in El Palmar, Spain, and his father, once ranked No. 963 in the world, ran it.
Alcaraz González gave up his pro career due to financial constraints -- but never left the game.
He became tennis director at the family club where 4-year-old Carlos first picked up a racquet.
Carlos is the second of four brothers in a family full of forehands.
Álvaro played competitive doubles while younger siblings Sergio and Jaime are rising through the junior ranks.
Jaime isn't just following in Carlos' footsteps -- he's sprinting in them.
He won the U-12 Rafa Nadal Tour event Carlos won in 2015 and has twice earned a spot at the IMG Future Stars Invitational, featuring the world's top under-12 talent.
Álvaro may have left competitive tennis, but not Carlos' side.
He travels with his younger brother on tour and was with him after Carlos' gut-wrenching loss to Djokovic in the 2023 Cincinnati final.
'There's no food like my mother's anywhere in the world,' Carlos says in the Netflix series.
Quiet dinners and playful kitchen banter reveal the deep family love that keeps him grounded.
Virginia Garfia Escandon, Carlos' mum, has always been his steady anchor.
After his 2023 Madrid Open win, Carlos dedicated the victory to her with a heartfelt 'Por ti Mama' -- a touching tribute on Spanish Mother's Day.
Despite global fame, Alcaraz still lives at home with his parents in Spain.
The 2025 Netflix series Carlos Alcaraz: My Way reveals him sleeping in a twin bed surrounded by trophies and savoring his mom's home-cooked meals.
After his 2023 Wimbledon win, Alcaraz told El Pais the best part would be 'going back home to my family.'
At the 2024 French Open, Alcaraz told his parents, 'I used to run home from school to watch this tournament on TV. Now I'm lifting the trophy in front of you.'
A year later, after the epic against Sinner, he spent the 1st minute of his victory speech praising his opponent as an 'inspiration to millions.'
2 moments, 1 truth: Family grounds him, humility defines him.
