Carlos Alcaraz’s coach Juan Carlos Ferrero has spoken out after the five-time Grand Slam winner jetted off to Ibiza to celebrate his remarkable success at Roland Garros. The Spaniard came from behind to beat Jannik Sinner in the French Open final, playing out one of the most memorable matches in history.
John McEnroe said that both Carlos and Jannik could have defeated the best Nadal at Roland Garros, a claim that caused a lot of discussion on social media.
According to Spotrac, that figure will move Alcaraz past tennis legend Pete Sampras for seventh place on the ATP career earnings list. Sampras made $43.3 million during his incredible career, which included 14 Grand Slam singles titles.
Viewers from around the world were brought on the roller-coaster ride where Alcaraz fell down two sets to love and came back from three straight championship points in the fourth set to win on the 10-point tiebreak in the final set. The win marked Alcaraz's second French Open title and fifth major championship of his career.
