Inside Carlos Alcaraz’s Winning World

Netflix swings big with a revealing look at tennis’s youngest star.

Carlos Alcaraz is not just changing the game. He is redefining what it means to be a modern tennis champion. With Carlos Alcaraz: My Way, Netflix serves up a compelling new docuseries that tracks the 20-year-old phenom through the 2024 season, offering fans and first-timers alike an all-access pass to one of the most electric careers in sport.

The cameras first rolled at “The Netflix Slam,” a much-hyped exhibition match with Rafael Nadal that marked a symbolic passing of the torch. From there, the series follows Alcaraz across clay, grass, and hard courts, documenting the grit, triumph, and isolation that come with life at the top. There are the trophies, yes. But this is not just a victory lap. It is a story of pressure, purpose, and a young man navigating fame with surprising humility.

Shot in vérité style and produced by Spain’s Morena Films, My Way doesn’t shy away from the quieter moments. We see Alcaraz training in Murcia with the same intensity he brings to Wimbledon. We see his family, his team, his rituals. We also see a 20-something trying to stay grounded in the middle of a storm of endorsements, expectations, and nonstop headlines.

Alcaraz is compelling not just because he wins. It is how he wins. With ferocity, but joy. With power, but grace. His tattooed reveal of the series’ premiere date during Indian Wells was a subtle bit of showmanship. The kind of move that feels more rock star than athlete, but still entirely true to who he is.

What Carlos Alcaraz: My Way captures best is the tension between legacy and youth. Between wanting to dominate and needing to evolve. Tennis has always had its icons. What we’re witnessing now is the making of one in real time.

And Netflix, it seems, knows exactly how to frame the shot.
