Carlos Santos Bosque

Carlos Santos Bosque was Carlos Alcaraz's first coach, working with him daily from age 5 to 12 and shaping the foundations that made him a future Grand Slam champion. He developed an all-court style built on variety, touch, net aggression, and creative shot-making, underpinned by elite footwork and mental resilience. Over eight years, Santos trained Alcaraz in every facet: explosive groundstrokes with natural feel, the drop shot as a daily weapon, disguised slice, aggressive returns, and pressure scenarios from match points to tiebreakers. He fostered trust, joy, and freedom, letting creativity flourish while building a player who loved the game and thrived under pressure in any style.
