Carlos Alcaraz’s brother Jaime wins big, brings flashes of world No. 1 to ATP junior title win

Carlos Alcaraz’s 14-year-old brother, Jaime, recently won the U15 boys’ title at the ATP Challenger tournament in Murcia. Jaime sealed the title with a point that very much carried the shadow of the world number one, displaying impressive speed, quick court coverage, tenacious defending and stunning shooting.

The 14-year-old won the final in dominant fashion, scoring 6-1 6-2 in his favor, with the championship point being the icing on the cake. Although his opponent, compatriot Rodrigo Burgos Casares, did his best to stay on point, a mistake in a header cost him dearly in the end, causing Jaime to raise his hands in joy amid the cheers of the crowd present.

Carlos Alcaraz himself has publicly expressed his support for Jaime in the past. For example, during his 2025 Australian Open campaign, the Spaniard was asked about his younger brother winning a qualifying match at a junior tournament in France. Here Alcaraz said:

“I just support him every time. It doesn’t matter that I’m in the other part of the world. I’m just trying to support him, support him, try to (remove) all the pressure that people put on him. I’m just happy to see him grow and become, let’s say, a grown man.”

Jaime is also a supportive brother. The youngster gave an emphatic reaction after his older brother became the youngest men’s singles tennis player to complete a Grand Slam at this year’s Australian Open.

The world number one is currently competing in the ATP Masters 1000 tournament at this year’s Miami Open. The seven-time major champion faced a tough opening test in Miami, but made it through in straight sets.
