Carlos Alcaraz shares intriguing revelation about his brother's admiration for Dominic Thiem
ATPTuesday, 22 October 2024 at 16:30
Spain’s Carlos Alcaraz has revealed that his younger brother is a big fan of Austria’s Dominic Thiem. The 21-year-old is already regarded as one of the best players currently playing in men’s tennis in the singles category, along with the likes of Italy’s Jannik Sinner and Serbia’s Novak Djokovic.
Despite Alcaraz’s on-court success, which makes him one of the hottest properties in men’s tennis, his younger brother Jamie remains a big of Thiem. The 31-year-old has recently announced retirement from professional tennis after struggling with fitness concerns in the recent past.

Alcaraz has been recently quoted in a report by English media outlet Daily Express where he stated that his brother remains a big fan of the Austrian and also revealed that he does not even want to play with his racket. "My little brother who play tennis, he’s a huge fan of Dominic Thiem,” said Alcaraz. “He used to play with his racket not mine so, he was always like watching Dominic. I hear a lot of things from my little brother, ‘I wanted to play like Dominic Thiem, I wanted to play like him with same racket, same style.’ So my family, we have really high admiration for Dominic Thiem.”
Thiem will finish his career after winning one Grand Slam. He lifted the 2020 US Open after beating Germany’s Alexander Zverev in the final in a five-set thriller with a score of 2–6, 4–6, 6–4, 6–3, 7–6. The 31-year-old, who was once regarded as the perfect heir to the ageing ‘Big Three’ suffered a serious wrist injury which turned his career upside down. He never managed to return to his very best and earlier this year, he announced that he will retire from professional tennis after participating in the Vienna Open on his home soil. He will play his tournament opener against Italy’s Luciano Darderi on Tuesday.
