Carlos Alcaraz, the emerging sensation in the tennis world, has garnered widespread admiration following his recent triumph at Wimbledon at the tender age of 20. As he steadily ascends the ranks, Alcaraz attributes his success to his rigorous and methodical approach to the sport, characterised by a meticulously crafted morning routine designed to enhance his skills and elevate his performance.
Commencing his day with a dawn training session on the court, the towering six-foot athlete dedicates himself to refining his tennis prowess in pursuit of his primary adversary, Novak Djokovic. Alcaraz fortifies himself for these sessions with a light breakfast comprising fruit, toast, eggs, and a generous serving of coffee.
While some of his peers may rely on high-energy music to invigorate them ahead of training, Alcaraz embraces a distinct pre-training ritual. The twelve-time title holder favours listening to Spanish melodies, particularly those of his beloved artist, Bad Bunny, as he prepares for his strenuous workouts.
Having matured into a formidable presence on the court, Alcaraz recognises the necessity of gym sessions to match the formidable strength of his competitors. His diet revolves around natural, unprocessed foods, contributing to his physical endurance and resilience during matches.
A distinctive feature of Alcaraz’s routine is his penchant for taking a siesta to recuperate from his early morning training. Additionally, the tennis prodigy is renowned for his passion for sneakers, possessing a collection of ‘between 10 and 15’ pairs of Jordans, which he proudly dons both on and off the court.
Despite a recent defeat at the US Open, Alcaraz continues to command attention not just for his exceptional gameplay but also for his sartorial choices. He has been spotted sporting a pair of £120-a-pair Nike Mac Attack trainers, a favourite of tennis legend John McEnroe, as well as custom-designed Nike shoes in vibrant hues.
When not engrossed in tennis, Alcaraz maintains an effortlessly chic appearance, often seen in a relaxed ensemble of a hoodie and jeans, citing Roger Federer as his style icon. Following the loss of his world No 1 ranking and his defeat to Djokovic in the ATP Finals, the Spaniard concedes that he has room for improvement and is open to refining his routine in the upcoming season to elevate his overall performance.
In his own words, Alcaraz remarked, “Maybe I struggled to handle the last part of the season. I have so many things to improve on, and that’s one of them. Learning that a tennis player’s season doesn’t end in June, August and September, it carries on until November.”
As Carlos Alcaraz continues his ascent in the world of tennis, fans eagerly anticipate how his disciplined approach and unique routine will propel him to even greater heights in the sport.
