Tennis made its big debut on Netflix in 2022 with ‘Break Point’. The buzz was real! Formula One had ‘Drive to Survive, ‘ and now Netflix was turning its cameras to the tennis tour. But after two seasons of low engagement, Break Point was cut. Just days after that news, the streaming giant announced a fresh project: a docuseries centered around Carlos Alcaraz. The young Spaniard had only made a brief appearance in Break Point, but now he was getting his own spotlight. And soon, we’ll see a whole new side of Alcaraz. Find out all the details of his new show!
Cameras followed Alcaraz throughout his 2024 season, capturing every high and low. And what a season it was. He won the French Open, conquered Wimbledon, and grabbed an Olympic silver medal. Now, the documentary is set to hit Netflix, bringing fans an inside look at the 21-year-old’s journey. Netflix teased the project in February with a first look, sharing stills of Alcaraz in action. One showed him celebrating his 21st birthday, another placing his Wimbledon trophy on a shelf, and another relaxing with friends on a boat. The title? ‘Carlos Alcaraz: A mi manera’—or in English, ‘Carlos Alcaraz: My Way’.
Now, Netflix has debuted the first poster of the docuseries on X and wrote, “He wants to be a champion. He also wants to enjoy being 21. Dive into the life, challenges, and choices beyond the court in ‘Carlos Alcaraz: My Way’. Premiering April 23.”

The 21-year-old, however, revealed the date in his own unique way. A new tattoo debuted at Indian Wells, marking ‘23.4.25’ on his arm. The Spaniard already has tattoos for his biggest titles, with the U.S. Open date, an Eiffel Tower for the French Open, and a strawberry for Wimbledon. Now, Netflix joined the ink collection, but this one was temporary.
“I am very happy for this experience with Morena Films and Netflix,” Alcaraz said when the project was first announced last March. “People are going to get to watch everything you don’t see on a tennis court. I think it’s something very different. I hope you enjoy this series as much as I will.”
Netflix has also been stepping into live tennis events. Alcaraz and Nadal faced off in ‘The Netflix Slam’ exhibition match last spring, another move in the platform’s growing sports portfolio.
Fun fact: Roger Federer, Naomi Osaka, and Ons Jabeur have all had their own projects, and Novak Djokovic has one in the works. Meanwhile, Rafael Nadal will be the next subject of Netflix, with a docuseries covering his farewell season in 2024.
The 4-time Grand Slam champion’s 2024 season was one for the history books, but 2025 has been a mixed bag. But he’s not dwelling on it as he moves to the clay season.

Carlos Alcaraz kicked off his 2025 season at the Australian Open but lost in the quarterfinals to Novak Djokovic. He picked up an ATP 500 title in Rotterdam, but also had some setbacks. Recently, the 21-year-old faced a shocking exit in Miami, falling to veteran David Goffin in his opener.
Now, the Spaniard’s heading into the clay season, where he has a golden opportunity. He missed both the Monte-Carlo Masters and Barcelona Open last year due to injury, meaning he has zero points to defend. Winning both would add 1,500 ATP points to his ranking, potentially pushing him past Alexander Zverev into the No. 2 spot before Madrid and Rome.
With Roland Garros around the corner, Alcaraz is gearing up for the grind. He’s been training at familiar spots—first at Real Murcia Club de Tenis, where a small crowd watched him practice, and then at La Manga Club, a longtime training ground for Spain’s best players.
The road ahead won’t be easy, but if there’s one thing Alcaraz has proven, it’s that he thrives on the challenge. Will this clay season put him back on top?
