"Everyone knows the tennis player but...": Carlos Alcaraz wants to show different side with announced Netflix documentary
ATP
Carlos
Alcaraz will be the protagonist of a Netflix documentary series narrating his
journey on the ATP Tour. The filming of the series began with the Netflix Slam,
an exhibition in Las Vegas featuring the young Spanish player against the
22-times Grand Slam champion Rafael Nadal.
This
week, Alcaraz is competing in the Madrid Open, where he is defending the titles
he won in 2022 and 2023. The young Spaniard made a successful start by
defeating Alexander Shevchenko 6-2, 6-1 and will face the Brazilian Thiago
Seyboth Wild in the round of 32.
After
securing his 12th consecutive triumph in Madrid, Alcaraz spoke in a press
conference about what fans can expect from his new Netflix documentary:
“Everyone knows the tennis player Carlos Alcaraz, but I want to show my
personality off the court,” Alcaraz said in Madrid.
“I
think it’s a great story to tell, that of a little boy who pursued his dream to
become world number 1,” he added. “I want to show everyone who I am off the
court. That’s why I’m doing this (the documentary), and I think it will be
beautiful. I’m super happy to have this experience with Morena Films and
Netflix,” he added.
“People
will be able to see everything they don’t see on a tennis court. I think it’s
something different. I hope they will enjoy watching it as much as I enjoy
filming it,” Alcaraz concluded.

- Either Lena has a chronic internal ailment (i.e., colitis, enteritis, Crohn's, or some type of lower abdomen issue) -- or she is once again dealing with 'Vukovitis'. Mental stress can indeed cause lower body pains. No matter... whatever is truly going on sucks. "Virus" excuse is getting a bit old -- and often -- at this point.

- Vukov is doing this to Lena... AGAIN!!!!! WTA's autonomous collective should be dismantled for allowing Vukov to re-emerge from his hand-slapping suspension. Just ask WTA employees how that's been going lately as they witness his continued verbal abuses. Women's Pro Tennis should start over.mandoist08-11-2026

- Don't you just love this young lady!? We fans often expect athletes to be supermen and superwomen, often forgetting that they WILL GET TIRED! I love Alex's perspective. Tiredness for an athlete should never be viewed as a negative, especially if you are healthy, taking care of your body and mental health and putting in the work. What a mature perspective. Good for you, Alex!Rapunzel05-11-2026
- Jess is absolutely correct! But the disrespect is a trait I have noticed in most of the Russian players. Mirra is good but very immature and lacks humility. Conceivable needs to get a handle on that!Rapunzel05-11-2026
