Carlos Alcaraz: His Parents, His Coach, His Net Worth and a Career in Numbers

The tennis in the family starts a generation earlier. About 40 years ago a great-uncle built a club in El Palmar on what had been a clay-pigeon shooting range, and Alcaraz's grandfather, also called Carlos, joined the venture. His father grew up on those courts. At 14 he was offered a place at the Bruguera academy in Barcelona, then one of the best in Spain, but the family could not afford it. He stayed, coached, and later became the club's director.

Carlos Alcaraz parents rarely make the news, and they are not part of the travelling show the way some tennis families are. His mother, Virginia Garfia, kept her job at IKEA in Murcia until shortly before 2023, when she was still described as having worked there "until recently". She is the reason for the second surname, because in Spanish naming Carlos Alcaraz Garfia carries his father's first surname and then his mother's.

The ATP lists three brothers. Alvaro, the eldest, played junior tournaments before Carlos did; Sergio and Jaime are younger and, in the words of a 2023 profile, "as passionate about tennis as the rest of the family". He began playing at four, the ATP says, "thanks to his dad", and he learned the game at the Real Sociedad Club de Campo in Murcia.

One small detail says a lot about the house. After his second straight Madrid title in 2023, the first thing he did in public was send a message to his mother.

Searches for the Carlos Alcaraz net worth turn up confident round numbers. None of them comes from a disclosure, because athletes do not publish balance sheets, and a net worth also depends on taxes, agent fees, spending and investments nobody outside sees. So this page shows the two figures that are published. The ATP's career prize-money list records $66,095,691 for Alcaraz, singles and doubles combined, as of October 26, 2026. That is before tax.

Forbes publishes an estimate of yearly earnings each August. It had Alcaraz at No. 1 among tennis players in 2025 with $48.3 million, $35 million of it from sponsors and appearance fees, and at No. 2 behind Jannik Sinner in 2026 with $53.7 million, of which $38 million came off court. Only the retired Serena Williams earned more off court in 2026. Babolat, his racquet sponsor since he was 12, has extended its contract with him to 2030. For the whole field, the richest tennis players tracker puts these numbers side by side.
