Carlos Alcaraz signs £160m Nike deal and gets promise only given to Federer and Nadal
French Open champion Carlos Alcaraz has signed a lucrative deal with retail giants Nike and been offered a luxury previously afforded to Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal.
Prior to his maiden success at Roland Garros, Alcaraz was handed a new 10-year contract with the company, with his previous deal initially scheduled to end in 2025.
The Spaniard will reportedly make £160million from putting pen to paper, but just as significantly, according to Relevo will be given his own Nike logo.
Federer teamed up with Nike in 1994, but was 26 by the time the RF logo was created 13 years later. Nadal meanwhile, was 27 when he was given his own design in 2013.
It says much for the meteoric rise of Alcaraz that he has been offered the same gesture at just 21. His victory in Paris made him the youngest ever player to win a Grand Slam on all three surfaces, having prevailed at the US Open in 2021 before winning Wimbledon last summer.
