Carlos Alcaraz's brother Jaime has often been a presence inside the camp of the great Spaniard as he navigates his career but with that comes pressure especially with his brother navigating the same career path.
Jaime who is 12 has the comparisons down to a tee with his brother in regards to his game style and even his haircut and could emerge sooner rather than later with Carlos coming into the fore when he was not much older.
But while social media accounts have been quick to whip up hype, he isn't of the opinion that the pressure should be put on him and that he should be allowed to blaze his own trail in the sport.
“His haircut I hear because I don’t spend too much time at home, so I hear from my mother that he asked the barber to make him the same hair as me. So it is funny and hilarious.”
“Yeah he plays well, I’m not gonna lie. He’s getting to a really good level. But honestly there are a lot of people around, a lot of videos and accounts from social media that are saying that he’s going to be similar to his brother and I don’t really like that you know in that way,”
“I just want all the people or all the social media to just leave him alone because he plays well but it’s not the best. So for me, I’m a little bit worried for the people who are around him during the tournament that they're gonna go to watch him because he’s my brother and then he'll probably put pressure on himself."
“So, let’s see how he's gonna handle it. I’ll be there for him for sure. He loves tennis and every time he can, he goes to court, he asks my father to go court and hit some balls. For me that’s great, that he loves playing tennis and let’s see if he’s gonna get better and better and hopefully one year I'll play against him,”
