MADRID (AP) — Carlos Alcaraz was back at the Madrid Open on Thursday, this time as a spectator to watch younger brother Jaime compete in an under-16 tournament.
Alcaraz, who holds the Australian, French and U.S. Open titles, was in the stands at Court 7 as Jaime Alcaraz defeated fellow Spaniard Pol Mas 6-3, 6-3.
Other relatives were on hand as well to watch the tournament debut of 14-year-old Jaime.
Among the Spaniards who have played the under-16 tournament at the Caja Magica in the past were promising stars Martín Landaluce, Daniel Mérida and Rafael Jódar.
Carlos Alcaraz withdrew from the Madrid Open because of a right wrist injury. He won’t be defending his French Open title in three weeks.
