"Everyone knows the tennis player but...": Carlos Alcaraz wants to show different side with announced Netflix documentary

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.
