“Emerging tennis sensation Carlos Alcaraz of Spain is poised for yet another season, anticipating a lucrative $10 million in prize earnings.”
The 20-year-old is often termed as one of the most highly-rated young tennis players in the men’s singles category along with Italy’s Jannik Sinner and America’s Ben Shelton. After having an impressive 2023, Alcaraz is now moving closer to having another season where he will earn more than $10 million in prize money.
Currently, the world number two has collected $9,647,931 in prize money this season and he will have a chance to improve that once he takes the court in the upcoming ATP Finals in Turin. In the last major tournament of the men’s calendar year, Alcaraz will earn $325,500 as a participation bonus.
He will also have a chance to earn $390,000 for every win in the competition and therefore, it looks very likely that he will be able to achieve that $10 million milestone. It will be the second consecutive year that Alcaraz will earn more than $10 million in prize money as he did that in 2022 as well.
In 2023, only Serbia’s legendary tennis star Novak Djokovic earned more than $10 million in prize money. His total earnings this year is $11,540,253. Alcaraz became the talk of the town after winning Wimbledon earlier this year where he defeated Djokovic in a five-set thrilling final with a score of 1–6, 7–6(8–6), 6–1, 3–6, 6–4.
However, since then, not much has gone right for the young tennis star. In the US Open, he lost to the current world number three Russia’s Daniil Medvedev in the semifinal while defending his title with a score of 7-6, 6-1, 3-6, 6-3.
Recently, he suffered a shocking exit from the recently concluded Paris Masters where he lost to Russia’s Roman Safiullin in the final with a score of 6-3, 6-4.
Congratulations on the victory Roman! 🤝🏻 I am saying goodbye to Paris much sooner than I wanted 🥲 Now it is time to prepare my game for the ATP Finals in Turin!
