7 years after Carlos Alcaraz's triumph, his younger brother Jaime becomes champion on Rafa Nadal tour

Jaime Alcaraz is following in the footsteps of his elder brother Carlos Alcaraz. He recently replicated Carlos' feat on the 'Rafa Nadal Tour,' emerging victorious at a junior event seven years after the current World No. 1 himself did.

The 11-year-old Jaime Alcaraz has already established himself as a force to be reckoned with on the junior circuit. Several videos of the talented youngster showcasing his incredible tennis have gone viral on social media in the past. Many of Carlos Alcaraz’s colleagues have also acknowledged Jaime’s on-court prowess.

The youngster has now reinforced his mettle by emerging as the winner on the Rafa Nadal tour in the U-12 category, just weeks after his older brother’s stellar triumph at Wimbledon.

Jaime Alcaraz defeated Beltran Serrano De Pablo in the final to lift the trophy. He celebrated the win by sharing pictures with the trophy on social media.

Jaime’s triumph comes seven years after Carlos achieved a similar feat, back in 2016. At the time, the Spaniard triumphed in the U-14 category on the Rafa Nadal tour.

Carlos Alcaraz was also able to capture the memorable moment on camera. He was seen in pictures standing alongside Rafael Nadal, who was in attendance at the event.

"It's very rare to see someone like Carlos Alcaraz win titles at 20" – Feliciano Lopez

Carlos Alcaraz at the 2023 Wimbledon Championships

Carlos Alcaraz has already established himself as one of the top players on tour. The Spaniard has won six titles this year, including Wimbledon, bringing his career total up to 12.

Alcaraz became the youngest ever ATP World No. 1 last year, a feat he achieved when he won his maiden Major title at the US Open as a 19-year-old.

Feliciano Lopez recently lauded his compatriot's achievements, particularly his magnificent Wimbledon win against Novak Djokovic.

“It's very rare to see someone like Carlos win titles at 20, to be able to challenge Djokovic in the Wimbledon final. I think he is very mature for his age and the proof is the courage with which he faced the most difficult moments of the match in the fifth set," Lopez said, as per Relevo.

Lopez, who retired from competitive tennis at the Mallorca Open this year, also praised the World No. 1’s ability to deal with pressure.

“He's been under a lot of pressure since he started playing professional tennis. He seems comfortable with the pressure and it's really impressive what he's done so far," the 41-year-old added.
