“Jamie, the younger sibling of Spain’s tennis sensation Carlos Alcaraz, delivered a noteworthy performance in the recently concluded Rafa Nadal Tour event.”
The 20-year-old is often regarded as one of the most highly-rated young tennis players in the men’s singles category along with Italy’s Jannik Sinner and America’s Ben Shelton.
His brother Jamie, who is just 12 years old, finished as the runner-up in the event after losing the final to Russia’s Stefan Shangichev in straight sets with a score of 6-0, 6-1. Alcaraz is currently in the Italian city of Turin where he will be taking part in the upcoming ATP Finals event, starting from Sunday.
The current world number two will be hoping to have a much better outing in the last major tournament in the calendar year, especially after suffering a shocking exit from the recently concluded Paris Masters where he lost to Russia’s Roman Safiullin in the final with a score of 6-3, 6-4.
Alcaraz will face Germany’s Alexander Zverev in his first group match of the competition on Sunday. It will be the seventh meeting between the two on the tennis court. In the previous six meetings, both players emerged victorious on three occasions.
The last meeting between the two took place in the US Open 2023 quarterfinal where the Spaniard came out on top with a score of 6-3 6-2 6-4.
