Carlos Alcaraz's father breaks down as he reveals financial struggles that shattered his own dreams of tennis glory

Tennis star Carlos Alcaraz's father, Carlos Alcaraz Gonzalez, has recently recalled his own unfulfilled tennis dream in the documentary series that features his son. Gonzalez said that he is currently living the dream of his son, who has established himself as one of the most formidable players on the ATP tour, having won four Grand Slam titles and 18 ATP titles at the age of just 21.

During the second episode of the recently released documentary Carlos Alcaraz: My Way, Alcaraz's father talked about his childhood and how he grew up playing this game. He also talked about getting his first-ever win in tennis.

Gonzalez revealed that his parents didn't have enough financial resources, and this was the reason he could not take this sport on a professional level. However, he talked about how he tried hard to give everything to help his son become a professional player.

"Today, I'm living my dream through Carlos. I grew up in a working-class neighbourhood with hard-working people. Tennis was my passion. My dream was to be a professional. I got my first wins at a regional level, then at the national level. But my parents didn't have sufficient financial resources, so by the time I was 19 or 20, it was obvious I wasn't going to be a professional player. When Carlos really started to stand out, we looked for financial support because the costs are high," Gonzalez said.
