Carlos Alcaraz: A mi manera

From the clay courts of Murcia to the hard courts of New York - this is the unfiltered story of a boy who redefined tennis but first had to find himself.

This Netflix documentary offers an intimate look into the life of top tennis player Carlos Alcaraz Garfia. At just 19 years old, he reached the No. 1 spot in the ATP rankings, an achievement that brought both admiration and sky-high expectations. His story is one of pure passion, dedication, and a unique playing style that has inspired fans worldwide. But behind the dazzling smiles and victories lies an adolescent searching for balance.

Reaching the top comes with immense pressure. Not only must Alcaraz maintain consistent performance, but he is also constantly compared to legends like Rafael Nadal, Novak Djokovic, and Roger Federer. The expectations are enormous: fans and media wonder if he will become the "next big thing," whether he can dominate Grand Slams, and if he can carry on the legacy of the 'Big Three.' That weight is heavy for a teenager still developing, both mentally and emotionally.

While his peers are studying, partying, or simply hanging out with friends, Alcaraz travels the world to compete in tournaments. The absence of a "normal" youth can be mentally exhausting over time. The question is: How do you keep enjoying tennis when it becomes an obligation?

Fortunately, Alcaraz has a strong support network. His family, Carlos Sr.-and his coach, Juan Carlos Ferrero (a former world No. 1), understand the mental and physical demands of the professional circuit and guide him with wisdom.

The secret to Alcaraz's success so far? He plays with infectious joy and fearlessness. But the true challenge will be preserving that love for the game, even as the pressure mounts.

One thing is certain: Carlos Alcaraz is a special player, and the world is watching with admiration and curiosity.

This Netflix series about Carlos Alcaraz is both powerful and inspiring. It goes beyond tennis to show the heart, determination, and humility of a young athlete who is already making history. Alcaraz isn't just a phenomenal talent on the court - he's a role model off it.

The series beautifully captures his journey, from his early training days to the biggest stages of the sport. You feel his passion, his hard work, and his constant drive to improve. It's rare to see such authenticity and focus in someone so young.

An incredible story of resilience and greatness. Alcaraz is a once-in-a-generation champion - and this series does him justice. A must-watch!

There's still to much to say about professional high skilled sportsmen and their minds. Alcaraz my way - is the best serie about this very sensitive subject. It shows how difficult is to keep on the edge and "being" a human "being". Carlos is still a very young tennis player. But in less than four years it shows that maturity comes from different angles, mainly having a regular life besides being an idol as one way to move ahead. The interviews and captures are amazing and shows with dignity, how tense is the behind the scene in the world of sports. Chapter 2 and 3 try to explain how difficult is to balance these two ele é tar aspects of our lives.

Such an inspiration, Carlos! Watching your journey unfold has been nothing short of incredible. You embody a rare combination of passion, humility and resilience that sets you apart not just as a tennis player, but as a human being. Your dedication to the sport, your relentless work ethic, infectious smile and your love for the game have touched millions around the world, myself included.

But beyond your phenomenal talent on the court, what truly moves me is your mindset. How grounded you remain despite all the attention, success and accolades. In a world where it's easy to get lost in fame, you remind us that true greatness isn't just about titles and trophies. It's about character, heart, and the way you treat others along the way.

That's why I want to say-do well in life, Carlos. Let tennis continue to be your canvas, but don't let it be the only story you write. May the rest of your life, outside those white lines, be rich and fulfilling. Let those moments, the quiet joys, the meaningful relationships, the lessons beyond sport fuel your spirit and give you perspective. May they be the life that drives you to be the greatest player in tennis history, because it's clear how much you love the game. And greatness doesn't come just from talent; it comes from purpose. When you live fully and authentically, it flows into your game.

You've already brought so much joy to fans around the world, and you've reignited a sense of wonder in the sport. Every match you play, every smile you flash, reminds us why we fell in love with tennis in the first place. Your matches are not just competitions; they're celebrations of will, skill, and soul. And yet, it's your joy, your gratitude, and your grounded nature that leave the most lasting impression.

"Happiness is an accomplishment," you once said and how true that is. In today's fast-paced, results-driven world, we often forget the power of simply being happy with where we are and who we're becoming. It's not just about reaching No. 1 or winning Grand Slams; it's about finding peace and pride in the process, in the growth, in the journey. You've already captured that spirit at such a young age, and that's something far more lasting than any trophy.

So keep going, Carlos! Keep pushing, keep smiling, and keep being you. The world is watching, cheering, and learning from you. Not just because you're a phenomenal athlete, but because you show us how to chase dreams with integrity, joy, and heart. You inspire not only the next generation of tennis players but anyone who dares to pursue their passion with fire and humility.

May your story continue to unfold in the most beautiful way, on and off the court. And may you always carry that spark the one that made you pick up a racket for the love of the game, the one that makes you grin after a hard-fought rally, the one that whispers, "I'm doing what I love" wherever life takes you.

Thank you for being such a beacon, Carlos. You're not just building a tennis legacy; you're shaping a legacy of spirit.
