Carlos Alcaraz is busy taking the tennis world by storm — and his family couldn’t be prouder.
The Spanish prodigy won the US Open in 2022, shooting him from No. 32 at the start of the year to the No. 1 tennis player in the world by that September. Just 19 years old at the time, he became the youngest men’s player ever to hold the top spot. He followed that up with a win at Wimbledon in July 2023 and a victory at the French Open in June 2024.
Watching Alcaraz realize his dreams is his supportive family, which includes his parents, Carlos Alcaraz González and Virginia Garfia Escandon, and his three brothers, Álvaro, Sergio and Jaime. The Alcaraz clan has been a tennis family for generations: His grandfather helped convert a hunting club in their hometown of El Palmar, Spain, into a tennis and swimming club, and his father has been the tennis director there for decades after his own brief professional career.
“In my family, I think we have the sport in our blood,” Alcaraz told The New York Times about his family’s history with tennis. “We all played from the time we were young.”
And as Alcaraz has experienced his meteoric rise in the tennis world, he credits his success to those around him — including his family.
“My family, my friends are nice persons,” he told Tennis Channel International in July 2023. “For me, it’s really, really important. As I said, doing great in tennis because of the people that I have around.”
So, who are Carlos Alcaraz’s parents and siblings? Here’s everything to know about the Spanish tennis star’s family.
