Alkarath: The crazy amount of money he got for winning the US Open
Carlos Alcarath, next to the trophy but also world No. 1, exited the US Open and added a large amount to his bank account.
From the start he said he wanted to go to the US Open to win it and eventually he did. Carlos Alcarat won his first Grand Slam title while climbing to the top of the world rankings.
In fact, he’s the youngest at 19, as the previous record belonged to Lleyton Hewitt, who reached the top in his 20s.
In addition, Carlos Alcarath has another reason to smile and that is none other than the huge prize money that came with the title of winner.
Specifically, the 19-year-old Spaniard paid 2.6 million euros into his bank account for his Grand Slam victory.
At the same time, the loser Casper Rood put exactly half of it in his wallet, i.e. 1.3 million euros.
