Carlos Alcaraz is the new champion at Mutua Madrid, the youngest in history at the age of 19 years and 3 days. He defeated the Georgian Nikoloz Basilashvili, the British Cameron Norrie, the Spanish Rafa Nadal, the Serbian Novak Djokovic and the German Alexander Zverev.
A dream tournament for those who have already clinched their Masters 1000 titles, the biggest after the Grand Slams, a few weeks ago in Miami.
The success at Caja Mágica led to the raising of a new trophy, named Areté, which replaces a man named Ion Tirica, the former Romanian player and businessman who ceased to own some rights in the event he sold to the company IMG .
In addition to the trophy designed by David Rodríguez Caballero from Palencia, she received an economic check for 1,041,570 euros, the same won by the female champion, Tunisian Ons Jabeur, the previous day.
There is equality: for the finalists, German Alexander Zverev and American Jessica Pegula pocketed, before tax, 568,790 euros each.
A semifinalist like Novak Djokovic won 311,025 euros and a quarterfinalist, the case of Rafa Nadal, 169,650. The total prize money was 6,744,165.
Carlitos Alcaraz is already leading ATP revenues in 2022 with more than 3,600,000 dollars pocketed in the competition, surpassing Rafa Nadal, who also exceeded the 3.3 ‘kilo’ dollar barrier, the currency officially used by ATP for this classification.
He also took the pot of points for the ATP world ranking: 1000, for 600 by finalist Alexander Zverev, 360 by semifinalist Novak Djokovic and 180 by quarterfinalist Rafa Nadal.
