Carlos Alcaraz’s Netflix Documentary Trailer Drops Amid Show-Stopping Monte Carlo Trick Shot

 

While Carlos Alcaraz was dazzling fans with a spectacular tweener trick shot in Monaco, Netflix released the trailer for his highly anticipated documentary series My Way. The two moments reflect the essence of the 21-year-old: unpredictably brilliant, fiercely competitive, and emotionally complex.

The series trailer poses deep questions: How much sacrifice does greatness require? Can a player reach the top of the sport without giving up everything?

That question played out in real time on the Monte Carlo court.

A Moment of Magic on Court

Early in his match against Germany’s Daniel Altmaier at the Monte Carlo Masters, Alcaraz found himself down break point in just his first service game. Altmaier floated a drop shot that dragged Alcaraz forward. The Spaniard responded with a wide cross-court angle, but Altmaier anticipated and countered down the line.

Alcaraz, sprinting diagonally, opted for a bold through-the-legs shot — not the obvious angle, but a line-drive tweener that sent Altmaier scrambling. The German retrieved it, only to have Alcaraz blast a clean backhand winner into the same corner.

"It’s beautiful to play points like that," Alcaraz said afterward. "I’m trying to entertain the people. A point like that... just reflects how my matches are going to be."

Inconsistency Behind the Genius

Despite the spectacular point, Alcaraz’s performance was uneven. After saving the break point, he made a series of unforced errors and a double fault. He eventually held serve, broke Altmaier, then lost serve again in a match that swung between brilliance and frustration.

Alcaraz closed out the first set 6–3 and took the second 6–1, advancing to face 12th seed Arthur Fils in the quarterfinals.

‘My Way’: A Portrait of Modern Greatness

In My Way, Alcaraz says, “I want to do it my way,” expressing his desire to become the best in the world without following a conventional path. The documentary includes reflections from tennis legends Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer.

“To accomplish what Novak, Roger or myself have done,” Nadal states in the trailer, “you need to feel the sacrifices are worth it.”

Alcaraz already holds four Grand Slam titles and is the youngest man to win majors on all three surfaces. If he captures the Monte Carlo title, he will reclaim the ATP No. 2 ranking behind his current rival, Jannik Sinner.

A Singular Style and the Risks It Brings

Alcaraz’s game is often dazzling, but not without flaws. He tends to lose heavily when things go wrong — and frequently to lower-ranked players. Since 2024, he has 16 losses and one retirement due to injury. Of those losses, only six came against top-10 players. The average ranking of his other opponents? Thirty-two.

He’s evolving nonetheless. Technically, he's reworking his serve and backhand. Mentally, he's aiming to balance personal life with professional goals — a major theme in My Way.

The trailer shows Alcaraz discussing the grueling tour schedule and his desire to spend more time with family. But greatness comes at a cost, and even the now-retired Nadal and Federer hint at the toll it takes.

The Alcaraz Journey Continues

For fans, it means more brilliance, more trick shots, and yes, more errors. But in Alcaraz’s world, those imperfections are part of the magic.

And on the way to greatness — there will always be tweeners.
