The Rise of Carlos Alcaraz: From Lucky to Olympic Doubles Dream
TL;DR
Carlos Alcaraz, the 20-year-old tennis player and youngest world No. 1, owes some of his success to luck and a local candy company's sponsorship. The company's support allowed him to access the best coaching in his region and travel throughout Europe to play in the most competitive tournaments. Alcaraz's preternatural gifts and skills played the biggest role in his good fortune, but the financial assistance for a family that needs it can certainly help.
