Having family by his side is a big deal for Carlos Alcaraz. But because of different situations, things are not always on a positive note for the younger Spaniard. While they witnessed him lift the French Open title live, there is a reason why his mother isn’t present for all his matches. Recently, the 21-year-old tennis star made an emotional admission regarding his mother’s absence.

In a recent conversation, before starting his Wimbledon journey, he opened up about his connections and revealed his family equations, including his brother’s roles in his life. He stated, “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. To them I am not a big tennis star, just a normal guy.”

But at the same time, his mother is not there with him, leaving a void for the 21-year-old tennis player, as he gives his 100% in his matches. Further, he added, “One of the things about tennis is that you travel a lot and my dad and older brother come with me. My older brother is my hitting partner. But Mum can’t come because she is looking after the two little ones. So getting home is great because I miss them. The longer you are away, the more you realise how much you need them.”

Apparently, the third-seeded player’s family includes his parents, Carlos Alcaraz González and Virginia Garfia Escandon, and his three brothers, Álvaro, Sergio, and Jaime. Not only did the youthful Spaniard Carlos Alcaraz overcome Alexander Zverev in five sets to win his first Roland Garros title, but he was also ecstatic about the amazing sequence of circumstances that brought him this success.

He had an emotional encounter with his parents right after he made the shot that won the game. In order to give his parents and coaching staff a hug, the 21-year-old ascended into the stands. Seeing their son recover from the injuries he had sustained over the previous few months drove both of his parents to tears.

The sentimental Alcaraz family moment from the grandstands was tweeted on the official French Open Twitter account, with the caption “All the feels.” On the other hand, last year, after the Madrid Open victory, the third-ranked player wrote a sweet message for his mom.

Carlos Alcaraz dedicated his second Mutua Madrid Open victory to his mother, Virginia Garfia, on Mother’s Day in Spain last year. “Por ti, mama,” he penned in an emotional note to her on camera, expressing his affection. He also spoke to her in Spanish as he gave his champion’s speech. From the stands, an emotional Virginia could be seen blowing a kiss to her son while he was speaking.

Following the official festivities, Alcaraz discussed the meaning of his comments in an on-court interview with Prakash Amritraj of the Tennis Channel. He disclosed that his mother is unable to attend his games frequently; therefore, it was extra special for him to have her in the player’s box during this triumph.
