This is how well Jaime, brother of Carlos Alcaraz, can play at the age of 11

Carlos Alcaraz his third participation in the Masters 1000 ATP in Indian Wells begins this Saturday, against the Australian Thanasi Kokkinakis. The fact that he missed the Acapulco tournament, the first on his calendar on hard courts, due to a hamstring injury in his right leg did not stop his natural ambition.

He wanted a title that was denied him Rafael Nadal in 2022 defeating him in the semifinals, a trophy that this time will also be accompanied by promotion to world number one. He will regain the lead that Serbian Novak Djokovic took from him at the Australian Open.

Far away in the California desert there is another Alcaraz leaving his mark on the tennis courts. The youngest of four siblings, Jaime, has already shared the stage with Carlos at IMG’s Rising Stars, in April 2022 in Athens, Greece.

A nod to the natural quality of Jaime, who at the age of 11 continued an evolution worthy of the one that ended up taking Carlitos to the top.

The communicator Marcos Zugasti, associated with the ATP Tour, showed several videos in which Jaime’s quality was appreciated, a well-known game pattern.

Like Carlos, left and perfect wolf in the Azores sub-12, in Portugal.

And the method never fails to give results. A good serve and immediately a certain parallel stroke on the overflow.

Tennis DNA in the whole family, though Alvaro and Sergio stay away from the first level racket. Álvaro, the eldest, is often with Carlos. Third on the age list, Sergio, is trying more than just soccer.
