Rare moment: Jaime Alcaraz spotted incognito in the stands… by his big brother
Carlos Alcaraz, world number one and six-time Grand Slam winner, took advantage of his break to support his younger brother, Jaime, at the Real Murcia Tennis Club.
Away from the spotlight, away from tournaments, the 22-year-old from Murcia treated himself to what he considers a luxury: watching his brother play "simply." A moment of normality in a life that has not been normal for a long time.
Jaime, the youngest who is already intriguing the tennis world
Jaime Alcaraz is only 14 years old, but his resume is already making a lot of noise. Competing in several Challenger Tour tournaments, winner of the junior tournament at the Rafael Nadal Academy, ITF junior world finalist… the parallels with Carlos's early career are obvious.
And that is precisely what worries the older brother.
Last year, Carlos had already spoken out to curb the excitement around his younger brother. His statement continues to resonate today:
"Many people say he will be like his brother. I don't like that. I want him to be left alone. He plays well, but it's not yet his best level."
A phrase that helps to understand the relationship between the two brothers: admiration, pride, but above all, protection.
