Katie Smith is joined by the BBC's tennis correspondent Russell Fuller and Manuel Sanchez, sports correspondent for Spanish news agency EFE, to take a deep dive into the life and career so far of Spanish tennis prodigy Carlos Alcaraz.
We discuss his past, his present and his future - ahead of what could be his first Grand Slam title on clay at the French Open, which starts on Sunday.
You’ll hear from Carlos himself, his coach Juan Carlos Ferrero, and the people who helped to shape him into the player he is today, including his junior coach Kiko Navarro and Jesus Garcia Pardo, who was a hitting partner for the then 12-14-year-old Alcaraz.
