For all the good will Alcaraz generates as a competitor, his good-guy spirit equally resonates. In the midst of a fifth full ATP season, Carlitos is still the same Carlitos that first burst on the scene at 16 with a winning tour-level debut. Attentive, polite, approachable, down-to-earth, authentic are but a few adjectives that haven’t deviated in establishing Alcaraz as a natural driver of human connection.
Shares Grigor Dimitrov, “His pureness, I think this is what I like the most. I like how open he is to communicate, being able to express himself. I’m a really big fan of that. I like when people are wearing their heart on their sleeve and in the same time, can be a ferocious competitor. I really love that combination about him.”
“His charisma is huge. Not only is he a great champion—he’s young, humble, he’s kind, he’s genuine, funny guy. Always has a smile on his face. Has respect for other people,” states Jack Draper.
