This project is expected to cause a stir in the tennis community: By establishing a new tennis academy in Acapulco, Mexico, Spanish tennis prodigy Carlos Alcaraz is starting a big endeavor to develop emerging potential. With earlier campuses built in the US and Australia, this is the third overseas branch of Alcaraz’s expanding academy network.
At a news conference held at the legendary Arena GNP, the site of the esteemed Mexican Open, the announcement was delivered with considerable excitement. One of the academy’s top trainers, Aleix Garcia, provided insights into the initiative, emphasizing the goal of establishing a long-lasting training base in Acapulco.
The academy plans to accept 40 adults from all around Mexico and 100 children between the ages of 6 and 17. A demanding yet enlightening five-day program is promised during the first training camp, which is set to take place from July 28 to August 1. The goal of this project is to spread the methods and ideas that have helped Alcaraz get to the top of the tennis world.
“Our goal is to disseminate as much knowledge as possible within this week-long camp, covering all the strategies we employ in Spain, so attendees can implement them in their own settings,” Garcia continued.
In addition, the institution emphasizes comprehensive growth, teaching fundamental principles in addition to athletic ability. “Although many people want to play tennis at the highest levels, there are many obstacles in their way. Therefore, we have two goals: to develop players’ abilities and to help them become model citizens,” Garcia continued.
Spanish instructors will continue to provide their knowledge and direction after the first session, according to Xavi Lopez, another renowned academy instructor. The administration of the academy was hopeful that this effort could persuade Alcaraz to return triumphantly to the Mexican Open in Acapulco, a competition he hasn’t participated in since 2021.
The formation of the academy was completed during the recent Fidetur event in Spain, according to representatives from Guerrero’s tourist department. Expectations are strong that the academy will establish itself as a permanent institution in Mexico, and the response has been extremely positive.
