Carlos Alcaraz, the young tennis phenom who has taken the world by storm, recently spoke about the important role his parents play in keeping him grounded despite his meteoric rise to fame and fortune.
Alcaraz, at just 20 years old, has already achieved incredible things on the court. He has amassed over $27 million in prize money and secured victories in 13 tournaments, including two Grand Slams. His success has also translated into lucrative endorsement deals with major brands like Nike, Rolex, and Louis Vuitton.
However, Alcaraz remains focused and humble, thanks in part to his parents, Carlos Sr. and Virginia Garfia. In a recent interview, Alcaraz acknowledged their constant efforts to ensure his success doesn’t inflate his ego. “They try to pull me in the ground every time I win a tournament or win an amount of money,” Alcaraz said. “They always stay there to put my feet on the ground.”
Alcaraz’s comments highlight the importance of a strong support system for young athletes navigating the pressures of professional sports. His parents serve as a constant reminder of the importance of humility and hard work, even amidst the dizzying heights of achievement.
