Carlos Alcaraz secured his 2024 Wimbledon title with a decisive 6-2, 6-2, 7-6 (4) victory over Novak Djokovic in a match that lasted just two hours and 27 minutes.
This win solidifies Alcaraz’s status as a dominant force in men’s tennis, making him the second man in the Open Era, after Roger Federer, to win his first four Grand Slam finals before turning 22.
For his triumph, Alcaraz will take home a winner’s cheque of £2,700,000. This significant amount adds to his already impressive career prize money of $31,578,625, further cementing his place as one of the top earners in tennis. Currently ranked ninth on the all-time prize money list, Alcaraz is poised to climb even higher, with Stan Wawrinka, Daniil Medvedev, and Pete Sampras next in his sights.
On the other side, Novak Djokovic, despite his commendable performance and sportsmanship in defeat, will receive £1,400,000 as the runner-up. This addition brings his career prize money to an astounding $182,494,969, maintaining his position as the highest earner in tennis history.
