Recently a tennis source tweeted on their X (formerly Twitter) that- “Alcaraz got $900K to play in Buenos Aires.” The exorbitant amount has surely garnered a lot of attention. According to Bloomberg, Alcaraz’s total prize money is worth $27 million already. This Spanish tennis prodigy was aiming for the Argentina Open’s $800,000 but his defeat in the quarterfinals ended the goal. However, the organizers of the Argentina Open 2024 are dedicated to attracting top-tier tennis players like Alcaraz. For that, the organizing company Tennium is reportedly aiming to upgrade the tournament level to ATP 500 status.

Tennium has also invested around $1.25 million in building a proper infrastructure at the Buenos Aires Lawn Tennis Club. The organizers said- “The tournament each year costs about US$3 million. For Seven years, that’s US $21 million. To keep improving infrastructure, this year we invested US$1 million, last year US$100,000, and in 2022 we invested US$150,00.” This means that the organizers are investing more to upgrade the tournament’s status. For that, they are hosting players like Alcaraz who is the world’s number-two right now.

Carlos Alcaraz’s Not So ‘Rosy’ Revelation Highlights Major Downside of Top Ranked ATP Pros

Given the Spaniard tennis star’s second consecutive presence in the tournament, many asked the organizers about their plans since in the last ten years the tournament didn’t have top players. However, in their response, the committee didn’t agree to that. However, they revealed a plan with Alacaraz, which explains his presence.

They said- “But well, Alcaraz is a clay court player, he’s young. In his annual plan he includes the participation in a reduced number of ATP 250s and among those that are attractive for his calender, Buenos Aires is there. After here he also plays in Rio de Jeneiro, where he has a contract to fulfill, and it is close to him. And third, there’s also a business deal between him and us, too.”

Carlos Alcaraz’s huge participation fee explains that he is one of the top players, whom every organizer wants in their tennis tournament. If Alacarz maintains such performance and market value, he will soon reach the status of tennis’s elite trio, Federer, Nadal, and Djokovic.
