Carlos Alcaraz took the title of the US Open this Sunday for the second time in his career after defeating the Italian Jannik Sinner. A victory in New York that also supposes an award that is worth two: he managed to recover the number one of the world ranking, and also the highest check ever delivered in a Grand Slam. As champion, Alcaraz will enter 5 million dollars, about 4.26 million euros to the change … and must also share with the Treasury.
It should be noted that the Grand Slams are the tournaments that distribute the most money, although each one has their own ankle boots. And in that sense, the US Open is since this season the most delivering money from all.
