- Olympic Games. Carlos Alcaraz Net Worth: How much money has Alcaraz made so far?
Carlos Alcaraz will be competing for medals in his first Olympic Games. After being eliminated in the doubles event with Rafa Nadal in the quarterfinals, the Murcia native had one last chance in the singles tournament, where he is favored to win gold. Meanwhile, Alcaraz has become the youngest player to reach an Olympic semifinal, surpassing Novak Djokovic's debut in Beijing 2008, after defeating Tommy Paul 6-3, 7(9)-6.
One step away from the final, Alcaraz awaits his opponent. His penultimate test in Paris will be Felix Auger-Aliassime, who defeated Norwegian Casper Ruud 4-6, 7(10)-6, 3-6 in a match that lasted two hours and 49 minutes. The Canadian, a finalist at the Mutua Madrid Open, has reached the semifinals in his first Olympic Games, just like Alcaraz.
Auger-Aliassime, who is three years older than Alcaraz, initially dominated their encounters. It wasn't until last year's Indian Wells, where Alcaraz became the champion, that Alcaraz earned his first win against Auger-Aliassime. Since then, they have faced each other two more times with victories for the Spaniard. Their most recent match was on the clay courts of this year's Roland Garros, where Alcaraz defeated the former pupil of Toni Nadal 6-3, 6-3, 6-1.
Their semifinal match in Paris will determine which of the two Olympic debutants will advance to the final. Additionally, the match will break the tie in their head-to-head record.
