In a candid interview with The Sunday Times ahead of Wimbledon in 2024, Carlos Alcaraz revealed his go-to remedy after tough tournaments: quality time with family, adding, “When I finish a tournament, it doesn’t matter if I win or not, I just want to get home to be with my family. I live with my mum and dad, my older brother and two younger brothers,”. And wasn’t he spot-on?
Time and again, we’ve seen his loved ones standing firmly by his side. Much like the families of other top tennis pros in both ATP and WTA rankings. And right after his Miami Open heartbreak, the 3rd seed is doing just that. He is escaping into the warmth of family, clearing his mind, and recharging with the perfect getaway. But where is Alcaraz unwinding as he plots his next big comeback, though?
The four-time GS winner’s Sunshine Double campaign didn’t go as planned. After a strong SF run at Indian Wells, where he fell short against eventual champion Jack Draper, Alcaraz faced an unexpected early exit in Miami. He lost to David Goffin in his 1st match. Following the heartbreak of the US swing, the 3rd seed has shifted gears. He is finding the perfect escape in the warmth of family and the stunning landscapes of Mexico.
The 21-year-old recently embarked on a vacation to the breathtaking Riviera Maya. He captured priceless moments with his loved ones in the family. From unwinding in the pool to cruising on a boat, playing ‘beach volleyball’, and relishing scenic views, Alcaraz made the most of his downtime.
