Sunday convulsed for the most famous Murcian family. It is that while Carlos Alcaraz was crowned for the second time in Roland Garros, Jaime, his younger brother, proclaimed himself double regional children’s champion.
This prevented him from attending the triumph of the current No.2 of the world because he also fought to succeed, and he also did so, just on the day he was 14 years old.
These days are very special for the Alcaraz Garfia family, which was incomplete on Sunday in the stands of Philippe Chatrier supporting Carlos, who lifted the Mosqueteros Cup for the second consecutive year at Roland Garros.
The 20th professional title and fifth Grand Slam of Alcaraz was lost by Jaime because he was also a racket in hand, but in the Real Murcia Club de Tennis 1919 chasing to be a regional champion.
Jaime, of the Real Sociedad Club de Campo de Murcia, departed as the first head of the series and took the individual title in the children’s category by beating Álvaro Marín, a clubmate, in the final that ended with the score of 7-6, 1-6 and 6-3.
