Who is in Carlos Alcaraz's player box in Wimbledon 2024 final against Novak Djokovic? All you need to know about his parents, family, coaching team
Carlos Alcaraz is chasing his second title at the 2024 Wimbledon Championships. The Spaniard's parents and brothers are present to cheer him on alongside his coaching team.
Alcaraz, the defending champion, is going up against a repeat opponent, Novak Djokovic, in the final on Sunday, July 14. He punched his ticket to the final by dismissing Daniil Medvedev, Tommy Paul, Ugo Humbert, Frances Tiafoe, Aleksandar Vukic, and Mark Lajal.
Carlos Alcaraz is in pursuit of the “Channel Slam,” which means winning the French Open and Wimbledon in the same year. The Spaniard won his maiden title in Paris last month, which was his third Grand Slam title. In doing so, he completed the career “Surface Slam,” having won the 2022 US Open on hardcourts besides winning last year’s grasscourt Slam.
During his campaign at the French Open, Alcaraz enjoyed the support of his parents, father Carlos Alcaraz Gonzalez and mother Virginia Garfia Escandon, who are present to support their son at the 2024 Wimbledon Championships, too.
Carlos Alcaraz’s brothers, Alvaro (24), and Jaime (12), have been a constant presence, too. Alvaro often travels with the 21-year-old, occasionally serving as his and other players’ hitting partner. Jaime, meanwhile, is also pursuing a career in tennis and has earned several accolades in his junior tennis career. His third sibling, brother Sergio (15), has also made a rare appearance during the final.
The Spaniard's grandfather (in blue) is also among those supporting him from the player's box.
Other key people in the Spaniard's box are the members of his coaching team, which includes coach Juan Carlos Ferrero, agent Albert Molina, physiotherapist Juanjo Moreno, doctor Dr. Lopez Martinez, and physical trainer Alberto Lledo Quiles.
