This is the team that has brought Alcaraz to the top of Wimbledon

One of the novel presences in Carlos Alcaraz's box at Wimbledon is that of Noelia, his English teacher, who lives in London and has been invited to watch some of his matches.. He has been teaching him for a long time and they have taken advantage of this long period in the British capital, where he arrived almost a month ago to play the Queen's tournament, to meet in some of the player's spare time and continue advancing in his improvement of a language in the which is showing itself more and more developed.

Courageous and intuitive, as he is on the pitch, he has no problems making interventions on the court, once each match is over, nor in press conferences, which he resolves with sympathy and the necessary loquacity almost always without the need to ask for help. to the communication manager who gives voice to the different accredited journalists.

Another of the new additions to the group that accompanies him is his little brother, Jaime, 12, who usually sits next to his mother, Virginia.. In the final he was joined by his brother Sergio, third by age, along with Antonio Martínez Cascales, Ferrero's mentor throughout his career and also a member of the technical team.. He already has a photo with Jannik Sinner, one of Carlos' great rivals, which was taken a few days ago in London and posted on his Instagram account.. Álvaro, the eldest of the four brothers, 24 years old, has been traveling with Carlos to tournaments for some time and has enough tennis shoes to practice sparring in some training, as happened a few days ago here, in London. Sergio, the third in age, is the one who least lavishes himself publicly.

Carlos, his father, accompanies him to all the tournaments, where his mother Verónica is also very often. Other older members of the family also tend to join, linked not only by blood but also by the love of tennis that runs through the entire saga.

The leader of the group

At the head of the technical team has been Juan Carlos Ferrero for six years. The former champion of Roland Garros, finalist of the United States Open, hero in the first of the six Davis Cups conquered by Spain and number 1 in the world, previously trained Alexander Zverev, a tennis player with a difficult character, highly conditioned by the figure of his father, who also works as a coach, and who also had David Ferrer on his bench and, until a few months ago, Sergi Bruguera.

Ferrero responded to the proposal of Albert Molina, the player's agent since its inception, and Alcaraz began working at the age of 15 at the academy that the former tennis player directs in Villena. Soon they began to travel together around the world, from small tournaments, with dedication and patience.. The raw material was excellent, but there was work to be done, order the talent, temper the head and build an appropriate physique to join the seniors.

A team led by his physical trainer, Alberto Lledó, was in charge of this facet, including Juanjo Moreno, the physiotherapist and recuperator with whom he travels to each tournament, and Sergio Hernández. The substantial change in his armor occurred at the start of 2022, after six weeks of preseason in Villena. He gave up playing any tournament before the Australian Open to apply himself meticulously to shape his physique. “The objective was to guide the muscle fibers towards achieving greater strength and speed,” Moreno explained to this newspaper once the transformation was completed.. Alcaraz had already won the first of his 11 titles in Umag in the summer of 2021 and reached the quarterfinals of the US Open after giving the big blow in the third round, beating Stefanos Tsitsipas. In the quarterfinals, against Felix Auger-Aliassime, his physique did not reach him and he retired injured, already with a set against. His doctor, Juanjo López, is also the backbone of the group and travels with him to all the competitions.

Isabel Balaguer is in charge of caring for the soul, an important figure in helping it metabolize in the face of the extraordinary emotional impact of everything she faces at only 20 years of age.. His first psychologist was Josefina Cutillas, who attended him when he was younger.
