The Carlos Alcaraz magic rubs off on Daniel Blanch

Daniel Blanch’s success story is not just about one victory. The young champ has been making his way deep into several other championships that hold crucial value in the initial steps of a tennis player’s journey. But behind all these victories, the high-value mentorship from the two-time grand slam winner, Alcaraz, held a major part of the value in preparing the young champ.

Blanch recognized this and mentioned, “I was just impressed with not only his style and speed — he was barely (using) any effort and the ball was going really, really fast — but also just with how nice he was, to hit with someone like me and take the time out of his day.” Humility seems to be the name of the game, since Alcaraz, even at such a young age himself, finds himself involved in priming the younger crop of players emerging in the sport.

Overall, Daniel Blanch’s journey from training with Carlos Alcaraz to becoming the Colorado State Tennis Champion happened to be nothing less than a remarkable tale of determination and finding the right guidance.
