Carlos Alcaraz's brother, 14, could rival him on ATP Tour as teen's coach lifts the lid

Carlos Alcaraz took the tennis world by storm when he was just a teenager. The Spanish star became the youngest-ever world No. 1 in ATP history after winning his first Grand Slam title at the US Open, aged just 19. Three years later, he's back at the top of the rankings and has six Major trophies under his belt.

Now, Alcaraz's 14-year-old brother, Jaime, could follow in his footsteps. A promising young player, Jaime often competes in junior events, and his coach, Ramon Abenza Sanchez, believes the teenager has what it takes to turn professional and join his sibling on the ATP Tour.

While Sanchez is wary of comparisons to world No. 1 Alcaraz, he's seen a lot of potential in Jaime at the Real Sociedad Club de Campo de Murcia.

He told Marca: "Jaime is progressing very well and is at his own pace. We also have others in the junior and cadet competition groups who are doing well. They're making strides at the national and even international levels, and there's no need to rush.

"There's only one Carlos, and we have to look up to him, but we have to avoid comparisons because everyone has to follow their own path and enjoy tennis.

"I see that several of the tennis players who are with us could reach the ATP circuit and he's one of them.

"If they have enthusiasm for tennis and work hard every day, they could achieve it, and there's no need to worry about the fact that they're playing Challenger tournaments at 15 or 16 years old. It's not a problem if they do it later, and every player needs their time."

Jaime has shown some similarities to his brother, as his coach believes the 14-year-old finds joy on the tennis court. "What stands out about Jaime on the court is his joy and his willingness to work every day, learning quickly," Sanchez added.

"He's an attentive kid, and it's important to listen, something he does. His backhand is a natural, and he's an ambitious kid who wants to reach the highest level possible, although he never told me he wants to reach one position or another.

"He knows it's complicated, but he wants to play with the best, and in his category, he's already doing so at an international level. In any case, he has to go through a maturing process. You learn from everything and draw conclusions, but he's already among the top players in Spain among the U-14s and will certainly be talked about."

Alcaraz himself has already urged fans to take the pressure off of his brother and avoid making comparisons. Speaking last year, the world No. 1 said: "Yeah he plays well, I'm not gonna lie. He's getting to a really good level.

"But honestly there are a lot of people around, a lot of videos and accounts from social media that are saying that he's going to be similar to his brother. And I don't really like that you know in that way. I just want all the people or all the social media to just leave him alone because he plays well but it's not the best."
