🔴CONFIRMED: Carlos Alcaraz has announced that he will donate his entire bonus for winning Roland Garros 2025: 50% of the welcome bonus to the children’s aid fund in his home country of Italy, and 50% to poor children who love tennis. His “strange” gesture has deeply moved his fans.
The news that has shocked the world of tennis and excited its fans around the world: Carlos Alcaraz , the young Spanish prodigy who has just won Roland Garros 2025 , has announced that he will donate 100% of his prize money for winning the Parisian tournament to charitable causes.
Alcaraz’s gesture, which surprised everyone, has been described as “strange” but deeply human . The 20-year-old champion has decided to split his prize money into two equal parts: 50% of the welcome bonus will go to the children’s aid fund in Italy , his native country, while the other 50% will go to poor children who love tennis but lack the resources to play it .
Alcaraz himself made the announcement on social media with an emotional message that has caused a stir among his followers:
“Tennis has given me so much, and now I want to give something back. My victory isn’t just mine; it belongs to all the children who dream of playing this sport but don’t have the same opportunities. I dedicate this award to them, hoping that one day they can achieve their dreams like I did.”
Alcaraz’s announcement has generated countless reactions around the world. Many of his fans have expressed their admiration for this altruistic gesture , highlighting that he is not only a great champion on the field, but also a person with a big heart . The news has quickly spread to social media, where it has become a trending topic under the hashtag #AlcarazParaLosNiños .
In his native Spain, the media has applauded the young champion’s decision, and the press has highlighted his maturity at such a young age, highlighting Alcaraz’s solidarity and commitment to social causes.
The Spanish sports daily Marca headlined: “Carlos Alcaraz, a champion on and off the pitch,” while AS described him as “an example of generosity that goes beyond trophies.”
The reaction in Italy: a closer bond with their home country
Although Alcaraz was born in Spain, his emotional connection to Italy runs deep. His mother, Ana, is originally from the Lombardy region , and Alcaraz has repeatedly expressed his pride in his Italian roots. This donation to the Italian Children’s Aid Fund has touched the hearts of many in the country, especially those who see him as a role model.
The Italian Children’s Aid Fund , to which Alcaraz has chosen to allocate half of his prize money, aims to provide access to sports education and help children from low-income families practice sports like tennis. Alcaraz’s gesture has been interpreted as an affirmation of his ties to Italy and his desire to help the next generation.
In this regard, the president of the Italian Tennis Federation , Stefano Remondini , expressed his gratitude for the gesture:
“Carlos has done something truly extraordinary. He’s not only an icon for tennis, but also a role model in terms of solidarity. These kinds of actions make us proud to count on him, not only as an athlete, but as a person.”
The other half of the donation, intended for children from disadvantaged families who love tennis , has been enthusiastically received by organizations around the world. Alcaraz’s gesture highlights the lack of access to sport in many parts of the world and the need for equal opportunities for all children, regardless of their economic situation.
The international children’s tennis project will be funded with the other half of Alcaraz’s prize. The organization will provide sports equipment, coach training, and scholarships for those who wish to take up tennis and develop their talent.
Alcaraz’s gesture has surprised even tennis experts, who hadn’t expected such a generous act from such a young athlete. Rafa Nadal , one of Alcaraz’s closest mentors, commented:
“Carlos has a huge heart. He’s not only an example on the field, but also off it. I’m very proud of him.”
For his part, Novak Djokovic , who has also faced Alcaraz on several occasions, said:
“It’s an incredible gesture. Carlos shows that tennis is about much more than just winning matches. It’s about community and the positive impact we can have.”
Alcaraz’s donation not only establishes him as a leader on and off the court , but also sets a precedent in the sport. Many wonder if these kinds of charitable gestures will become the norm for future tennis champions. Alcaraz, with his victory at Roland Garros and this noble gesture, has made it clear that tennis is not just a sport, but a platform to change the world .
