Rafael Nadal has claimed that documentary does not "reflect his personality". The 22-year-old Spaniard, who has already won three of the four Grand Slams in the world of tennis - as well as reaching the finals of the 2024 - saw a docuseries entitled Carlos Alcaraz: My Way released by the big red streaming service in April.

While tennis fans worldwide have tuned in to get a glimpse of the sporting sensation's life away from the courts, 'King of Clay' has slammed the production for showing him "in the wrong way". In one of the stand-out scenes of the series, coach Juan Carlos Ferrero, and agent, Albert Molina, shared their discomfort with Alcaraz's partying away from the court - resulting in widespread criticism about the youngster's mentality and work ethic.

But 22-time Grand Slam winner Nadal was quick to pull up on their portrayal of Alcaraz. Speaking with , the 38-year-old said: "Knowing Carlos a bit, I think the documentary does not reflect his personality or how he lives his career.

"He does not appear as a tennis player who trains but as someone who loves partying and needs that - not very professional. And that's not true.

"Carlos is a great professional; he works very hard to bring his tennis and physique to the highest level. I think the documentary shows him in the wrong way because now people's perception is different from what his real life is."

Alcaraz has also gave his own stance on the criticism he received in the wake of the docuseries, explaining: "I'm trying just to think not about that. Yeah, I hear good things, bad things about that.

"So I just want to keep in my path, keep in my own way. But sometimes they found it, like, weird following that path, like enjoying life, not being such a professional that probably they could do it.

"But, I mean, I just, as I said, follow with the things that I want, that I like, my team, the things that my team tells me, my close people, my family, and my friends, and that's it."

It comes as Alcaraz hopes to add to his collection of Grand Slams at this year's . The star heads into the tournament as the reigning champion of Roland Garros after defeating 6-3, 2-6, 5-7, 6-1, 6-2 in last year's final.

Alcaraz was initially set to face Kei Nishikori in the first round of the major on Sunday, until the World No.62 withdrew from the tournament. He will now face Giulio Zeppieri instead.
