Carlos Alcaraz He broke many precocity records in tennis, like when he won the first one grand slam at the 2022 US Open and then became the youngest No. 1 in history at the age of 19. Now, at the age of 21, he has 15 ATP titles, with special mention to four Grand Slams (US Open 2022, Wimbledon 2023 and 2024 and Roland Garros 2024) and five Masters 1,000.
His game is a wonder all over the world and, spontaneous and expressive on the court, his connection with the stands is another added value that emphasizes the sporting figure of the Spanish player.
The direct consequence of this successful cocktail is that it makes companies raffle and their income increases in the same proportion, to the point Forbes magazine listthe greatest reference on economic matters, has already placed Alcaraz as the tennis player who earns the most money than Novak Djokovic37 years old and world No. 2.
Forbes made calculations among active players last year, from the 2023 US Open to the present moment, and estimated Alcaraz’s earnings at 38 million euros, 9.25 in prize money and most of them (28.75 million euros) in advertising contracts involving brands such as Nike or Rolex. Djokovic is second with 33.42 million euros.
This economic reign lasted only one year for the Serbian, the one that followed the departure in 2022 of Roger Federerwho has monopolized the Forbes tennis list since 2007: the quality of tennis and image of the Swiss marked an hour of luxury for him on and off the court.
In the previous count, ‘No’ No. 1 in revenue with 35.50 million euros and Alcaraz came in second with 28.21 million. The Serbian earned 2.08 million less, but the big step was made by Carlos with an increase of 9.79 million euros compared to last year.
The American Coco Gauff (24.35 million) and the Polish Iga Swiatek (24) occupies the 3rd and 4th positions, while the Italian Jannik Sinner23 years old and current world No. 1, closed the top 5 earnings with 23.90 million euros, when last season he did not appear in the top-10 highlighted by Forbes.
Despite several tournaments played, Rafael Nadal He is ranked 6th on the Forbes list with 20.93 million euros because his advertising contracts continue to bring him a lot of money, in this case 98.70% of the total (20.66).
