Younger brother of Carlos Alcaraz, Jaime follows in his footsteps winning Rafa Nadal Tour title seven years on from World No.1

Spanish tennis star Carlos Alcaraz’s younger brother Jaime Alcaraz has won the Rafa Nadal tour.

The 20-year-old is currently the talk of the town after winning his maiden Wimbledon title earlier this month after defeating Serbia’s legendary tennis player Novak Djokovic in a five-set thriller with a score of 1–6, 7–6(8–6), 6–1, 3–6, 6–4.

That victory seems to inspire his younger brother Jamie as well who has now won the Rafa Nadal tour, just like his elder brother did seven years ago.

Jamie defeated Beltran Serrano De Pablo in the all-important finale to lift the title.

Carlos’ win in London was indeed a very special one considering that before this year, his best outing in the competition was reaching the fourth round which he achieved last year.

That result also halted Djokovic’s march towards equaling the former world number one Switzerland’s Roger Federer’s record of eight Wimbledon titles.

As things stand, Djokovic remains the joint-second most successful player in the competition’s history after winning seven titles, equal with former world number one America’s Pete Sampras.

Alcaraz will now turn his focus towards the upcoming US Open where he will be defending his crown. He won the title back last year after defeating Norway’s Casper Ruud with a score of 6–4, 2–6, 7–6(7–1), 6–3.
