Alcaraz earned more money in Vienna than Vacherot in Basel

Carlos Alcaraz and Valentin Vacherot can be very pleased with their performance this week, having been crowned champions of the ATP 500 Vienna 2026 and the ATP 500 Basel 2026, respectively. It may come as a surprise to some fans that two tournaments of the same category do not have identical prize money, but it is important to clarify that each event seeks the necessary tools to establish the money to be distributed among the players.

In this regard, the Austrian tournament has made a significant leap in recent years and, specifically in this 2026 edition, had a prize pool considerably higher than that of Basel. This is why Carlos Alcaraz has earned more money than Valentin Vacherot, despite both being champions of an ATP 500 in the same week.

Alcaraz has already earned over 67 million dollars from his tennis activity

The amount earned by Alcaraz in Vienna is 523,305€, while Vacherot's earnings stand at 483,335€. It should be noted that these earnings are gross, so taxes would need to be applied in the country where the tournament takes place, and subsequently also in the player's country of origin. There, Vacherot clearly benefits from paying taxes in Switzerland this week, and habitually in Monaco, where he has his tax residence.

Perhaps the most striking thing about all this is to see how far the economic earnings of Carlos Alcaraz have already come due to his achievements on the court. Just from his tennis activity, the Spaniard has earned a whopping more than 67 million dollars throughout his career, while this season he has over 6 million dollars earned. Astounding figures for a 23-year-old with a lot of his career ahead of him.
