Carlos Alcaraz He appeared in Paris with an official income of 28,934,769 dollars (official ATP currency), of which 1,908,621 corresponds to the current season, in which he played only six tournaments due to the accident in Rio, in which he -sprain, and the muscle injury in his right forearm that only allowed him to compete in one of the four competitions he had planned on his agenda.
These numbers do not include the important part of sports figures, personal sponsors, permanent sponsors for participation in certain events and well-paid exhibitions such as the one in Las Vegas with Rafael Nadal.
Officially, Roland Garros distributed 53,478,000 euros in prizes for all categories in this edition, which represents an increase of 7.82% compared to 2023. However, this increase is based mainly on the larger bonus of the participants in previous stages and those eliminated in the first three rounds.
The raise for champions is proportionally more modest, although the difference to the 73,000 euros a loser in the opening round of singles receives is not great.
Carlos Alcaraz, as champion, the Polish woman took the same amount as the day before Iga Swiatek2,400,000 euros, with the consolation prize being 1,200,000 for the finalists, Alexander Zverev and Jasmine Paolini. One hundred thousand more than last year, when the best was Novak Djokovic, while the Pole continued to chain titles, now four, three in a row.
However, at 21 years old Alcaraz already has experience in this regard, and in the volume in Paris he is losing ‘money’ compared to his two previous Grand Slam crowns. Australia and Roland Garros are behind the US Open and Wimbledon in terms of money.
Alcaraz He opened his record at the 2022 US Open, pocketing $2,600,000. And the fee for Wimbledon 2023 was 2,350,000 pounds sterling, at the exchange rate then it was 2.7 million euros.
Less money than London and New York, despite the passage of time and greater inflation, but the glory of being the first U-22 to win Grand Slams on three different surfaces. And he already has a Roland Garros dream.
He crossed the barrier of 30 kilos of income, leading the list Novak Djokovic which has so far set the bar at over 180 million. Always in terms of circuit competitions and before taxes.
