The rivalry between Sinner and Alcaraz is destined to take center stage for many years: here is the Spaniard’s response to the top of the rankings reached by the Italian
June 9, 2024, Carlos Alcaraz triumphs at Roland Garros putting his third Grand Slam trophy on the board after those won at the US Open and Wimbledon. June 10, 2024, Jannik Sinner officially becomes the number one in world tennisreaching a historic milestone for the blue movement, which had never before seen one of its representatives reach the top of the rankings.
Previously, the one between the South Tyrolean and the Murcian was considered the best rivalry of the near future. But now there are no more doubts: Sinner and Alcaraz are the ones chosen to take up the Big3 legacy. This is demonstrated by the spectacular nature of the challenges they undertake and the numbers that pepper their young CV. In this context, inevitably both baby racquet phenomena have attracted the attention – as well as enthusiasts and professionals – of the most prestigious sponsors on the international scene. And this is exactly what we want to talk to you about today.
Big shot by Carlos Alcaraz, overtaking on Sinner is official: this is what we are talking about
A few hours ago, in fact, the official news of the marriage between Alcaraz and Nike. A marriage that will bring a simply mind-boggling figure to the bank account of the Iberian class of 2003: there is talk of a multi-year contract richer than the one signed about a year ago by Sinner with the same sportswear brand. What numbers are we talking about? Hold fast.
Because in detail it is rumored that the sponsorship contract signed by Alcaraz with Nike will guarantee the Spaniard just under 20 million euros per year. While Sinner has one in force with a duration of ten years and a scope of 158 million. Therefore Jannik will from now on receive around five million euros less per season than the Murcian talent. And this, needless to say, is news that – to put it mildly – did not please the millions of followers of the granite blue tennis player. In short, the good Carlos responded off the field to Sinner’s record by taking great satisfaction. We’ll see what the South Tyrolean’s counter-offensive will be, which, rest assured, will certainly arrive shortly.
