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.

Alcaraz’s annual Ibiza pilgrimage started back in 2023, when he suffered a heartbreaking French Open semi-final loss to Novak Djokovic and wanted to get away. After a quick boys’ trip, he returned and won Queen’s and Wimbledon back-to-back.

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.
