Carlos Alcaraz’s Brother’s Coach Urges Avoiding Comparisons to Tennis Star

The coach of 14-year-old Jaime Alcaraz, younger brother of tennis sensation Carlos Alcaraz, is asking the public to refrain from comparing the teenager’s development to his brother’s, emphasizing Jaime is progressing at his own pace.

Speaking today, October 21, 2025, Jaime’s coach stressed the importance of allowing the younger Alcaraz to develop without the pressure of living up to his brother’s achievements. “We have to avoid comparisons,” the coach stated, as reported by multiple sources. This comes as Jaime demonstrates increasing promise in the sport, sparking interest in his potential on the ATP Tour.

Carlos Alcaraz himself reportedly provides guidance to Jaime, extending beyond on-court technique. “He tells me that the things I do off the court are also important,” Jaime revealed, highlighting his brother’s holistic approach to success. Carlos, currently ranked number one in the world, understands the demands of professional tennis and is keen to prepare his brother for a similar path, should he choose it.

The focus on careful development underscores the family’s long-term vision for Jaime’s career, and the potential for another Alcaraz to make waves in the sport is growing.
