Carlos Alcaraz’s staggering career earnings aged 21 as Spaniard overtakes big rival
Carlos Alcaraz enjoyed a triumphant week in Monte-Carlo, coming in as something of a question mark and leaving as the champion. The Spaniard lifted his sixth Masters 1000 trophy on Sunday, pulling off a comeback victory against a physically-hampered Lorenzo Musetti 3-6 6-1 6-0, and pocketing a £817k prize cheque.
With his latest triumph, Alcaraz has surpassed one of his biggest rivals, Jannik Sinner, in the overall prize money standings and hit a major milestone. Still aged just 21, Alcaraz ranks 11th on the all-time career earnings list.
