(VIDEO) It runs in the family: Carlos Alcaraz's 14-year-old brother wins challenger tournament with match point reminiscent of world number one

The talent that Carlos Alcaraz seemingly possesses on the court seems to have been passed down in the family. His youngest brother, Jaime, produced an incredible match point to win the under-15 Murcia challenger.

The 14-year-old, similar to his brother, has huge aspirations to become a talented tennis player one day, dreaming of sharing the court with the world number one at the highest level of the sport. Today, he showcased that he possibly has the minerals to compete in the future with the best with a solid showing in his home country of Spain.

There were similarities between the duo when he looked to seal the deal. He was firmly on the back foot as his opponent, on serve, pushed him right back past the baseline. Jaime kept the ball in play before utilising his incredible speed to react to a drop shot played by his opponent. He then had to race back to the baseline before, without even looking, hitting the ball back towards his rival whose smash went out. This confirmed the win and title for Jaime, a huge step in the right direction.

Alcaraz's journey in tennis started when he was young. Winning the Miami Open as an 18-year-old, he became a Grand Slam champion and world number one at the tender age of 19 at the US Open. Three and a half years later and he has become the youngest player to achieve the career Grand Slam after taking home the Australian Open title at the start of the year. He has cemented himself as a tennis great very early in his career, with the sky the limit for the 22-year-old.

With this comes a lot of hype and potential put on Jaime's shoulders in reaction to him being the brother of the best tennis player on the planet. However, Alcaraz has forced fans and pundits to not put too much pressure on his younger brother, trying to protect him.

“There are a lot of people around, a lot of videos and accounts from social media that are saying he’s going to be similar to his brother," Alcaraz commented in an interview back in 2024. "And I don’t really like that you know in that way. I just want all the people or all the social media users to just leave him alone because he plays well but it’s not the best yet. 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."

While one brother is taking home silverware, the other one is looking to do the same in Miami. Alcaraz is currently competing in the Miami Open as he looks to shrug off the disappointment of a semi-final defeat at Indian Wells, his first loss in 2026. He got past a talented Joao Fonseca in the second round to set up a tie against a rapidly improving Sebastian Korda.
