Carlos Alcaraz is quickly becoming one of the sport’s wealthiest stars despite his tender age of 21.

On Sunday, he secured his second consecutive Wimbledon title by defeating Novak Djokovic in a three-set triumph on Centre Court. This victory, which was more decisive than last year’s five-set thriller against Djokovic in the Wimbledon final, perhaps signalled a power shift.

Alcaraz is seen as the face of the post-‘Big Three’ [Djokovic, Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal] era, and with four Grand Slams to his name, he continues to showcase his capabilities of matching Djokovic’s record of 24 in the years to come.

However, it’s not just his trophy collection that’s growing – his bank account is also swelling. Before the tournament, Alcaraz reportedly had a net worth of £15million, and his Wimbledon win added another £2.7m to his fortune.

In June, Alcaraz clinched his first French Open title by defeating Alexander Zverev in a five-set final which means he’s raked in £4.7m in prize money in just the past month.

He also has profitable endorsement deals with brands such as Nike, Rolex and BMW, further boosting his income as his deal with Nike, which includes plans for a personalised logo, is particularly lucrative, reportedly bringing in around £13m annually over the next ten years.

In addition, he has bagged endorsements from high-profile brands such as Calvin Klein, Babolat, ElPozo, and ISDIN as these lucrative deals, coupled with his tournament winnings over recent years, have catapulted him into the ranks of the world’s highest-earning young sports stars.

Interestingly, his net worth has already outstripped that of Stanislas Wawrinka (£14m), a three-time Grand Slam champion. However, he still has some distance to cover to match the wealth of tennis giants like Djokovic (£189m), Nadal (£170m) and Federer (£124m).

But considering his phenomenal performance in the last two years and his rapidly rising fame, it might not be too long before he’s playing in the same financial league.
