The incident happened during the fifth set against Fabio Fognini as temperatures far exceeded 30C.
Alcaraz, 22, dashed to his bag and grabbed a bottle of water before running over to hand it to the crowd to take to the stricken spectator.
A 15-minute delay followed as she was given medical treatment.
And her daughter Eluned took to X to thank Alcaraz for his speedy service.
She wrote: "Thank you @carlosalcaraz for the concern shown to my mum today who was taken ill during your tennis match at Centre Court @Wimbledon today.
"Unlikely you'll see this message but I can try! Thank you."
Incredibly, though, despite his media commitments, practice and looking to secure a hat-trick of Wimbledon crowns, Alcaraz made time to send a personal reply.
The humble world No2 Spaniard typed: "You're very welcome, it was nothing!
"I hope your mum is doing well.
"Send her a kiss from me and take good care of me."
