Paralympic Games, London 2012 to Paris 2024
Born in Madrid in 1993, Caverzaschi spent most of his childhood in Miami and took up wheelchair tennis at 12. He played his first Paralympics in London in 2012 as a first-year economics student at the University of Warwick, from which he graduated with a first. In Tokyo in 2021 he became the first Spaniard to reach a Paralympic wheelchair singles quarter-final, and in Paris in 2024 he and MartÃn de la Puente won doubles bronze, Spain's first Paralympic medal in the sport. He reached the Australian Open doubles final in 2025 and 2026, and in 2023 co-founded VLP Sports, a business that works with brands on disabled athletes. At Wimbledon in 2026 he lost in the first round of the singles to Gustavo Fernández and in the doubles quarter-finals with Casey Ratzlaff.

"It was my dream to play a Grand Slam."
The person behind the player.
Childhood
His parents encouraged him to try every sport he could. He loved skiing, but swapped the skis for a racquet because, he says, he was "a bit too daring". Once he started playing wheelchair tennis he knew it was his sport.

As a first-year economics student at Warwick he had to choose between a gap year to train and travel or trying for both the Games and his exams. He took the riskier option, spent about nine weeks travelling the world between February and May, played at London 2012 and later graduated with a first-class degree.

Asked in May 2024 about the Paris Paralympics, he said: "I'm not really thinking that much of Paris, but I don't want to respond like a politician." Back at No. 17 in the world after a long layoff, he called himself an underdog and set a plainer goal: "I want to take the next step and get back into the Top 10."

He and MartÃn de la Puente lost their semi-final by two points in a match tiebreak, then won bronze against a French pair in a packed stadium. The crowd was for their opponents, and he welcomed it as the integration he wants, where spectators see "just the fierce competitors". It was Spain's first Paralympic wheelchair tennis medal.

In 2023 he co-founded VLP Sports, which works with brands on campaigns to raise awareness of disabled athletes, and he applies what he learned in his economics degree to the business. Tennis stays his main focus; his team manages the split of his time between the two. His message after Paris: "The best is yet to come, my friends!"
