Alcaraz began playing tennis aged four and was coached professionally by his father (a top-40 player in his day).

From the age of 13 he signed a racket deal with Babolat (currently using the recently launched Pure Aero 98) and more recently has added big brands Nike, BMW, Rolex and Calvin Klein to his portfolio.

Alcaraz is currently coached by compariot and former world no1 Juan Carlos Ferrero, who has been with him since 2017 and guided his charge to maiden ATP Masters 1000 and Miami titles in 2021.
