Two-time Grand Slam winner Carlos Alcaraz was born to parents Carlos Alcaraz Gonzalez and Virginia Garfia Escandon. The answer to the question of what does Carlos Alcaraz’s father do for a living, it is that Carlos Alcaraz Gonzalez was a professional tennis player earlier and is now a real estate agent. However, the Carlos Alcaraz family wasn’t a very affluent one, and therefore, Alcaraz Gonzalez had to stop pursuing the sport after some time.
Although Alcaraz Gonzalez broke into the Global Rankings of tennis (963 rank) at a point in time in his career, he didn’t extract any prize money from the game according to official sources. However, after quitting tennis, Carlos Alcaraz’s father became the director of a tennis academy in Murcia, Spain, where Alcaraz was born. The academy is called Real Sociedad Club de Campo de Murcia aka the Royal Murcia Country Club.
The club was originally a hunting club, which later became a tennis club, courtesy of Alcaraz’s granddad Carlos Alcaraz Sr. Alcaraz’s father now has been running that academy for decades. Mr. Alcaraz Gonzalez also ran an estate agent firm.
The firm is located in their hometown of El Palmar in Murcia, nearly 80 km away from Alicante, Southern Spain. This estate agent firm made additional income for the family besides his tennis academy, which he mostly did out of passion and love for the sport.
The Carlos Alcaraz family lives in a 2-floor penthouse, which is directly situated above a kebab shop. However, with the millions, Alcaraz earned from his tennis career so far, he intends to build them a new home, which would be near their current residence. Alcaraz has already bought 3 plots of land for it.
