Carlos Alcaraz's father and mother keep him grounded

Carlos Alcaraz has accumulated $28,762,147 in prize money but still remains humble as ever. He credits his mother, Virginia, and father, Carlos, for keeping him grounded despite achieving great things at a young age.

The 20-year-old appeared in an interview with Prakash Amritraj and Steve Weissman on Tennis Channel after lifting the trophy at the 2024 Indian Wells Masters. He said that his parents keep his feet on the ground after he wins a tournament and earns a big paycheck.

"Well, my father and my mom have a really good role. They try to pull me to the ground every time that I win a tournament or I win an amount of money, I'm not gonna lie, I’m not gonna hide. They always stay there to put my feet on the ground," Carlos Alcaraz said (at 5:40).

Alcaraz is on course for the third Madrid Open title in a row and will now face Jan-Lennard Struff in the fourth round.
