The brand of Carlos Alcaraz is on the rise. The association of this talented Spanish tennis player with prestigious brands has the potential to boost their value. Currently ranked world No. 1 and the recent Wimbledon champion, Alcaraz has seven sponsors, including Nike (brand value €30.2 bn), Babolat, BMW (brand value €30.9 bn), Rolex (brand value €10.3 bn), Calvin Klein (brand value €1.9 bn) and, most recently, Louis Vuitton (brand value €25.3 bn).

This recent success has not only elevated Alcaraz's personal status but has also likely positively impacted the value of his sponsors. His Wimbledon victory and growing popularity are likely to further increase his worth as a brand ambassador, making him one of the most sought-after athletes in the sponsorship market.

Tennis is particularly valuable in Alcaraz’s home market, as the second most popular sport in Spain, with 38% of the population following the sport. Only football, with 58% of fans, is more popular. In fact, according to Brand Finance studies, only Romania (51%) and India (43%) have a higher proportion of people interested in tennis.

The success of Marca Alcaraz is a win-win for both the tennis player and his sponsors. Alcaraz appears to be serving as an exceptional brand ambassador in his sponsors, and they have found a valuable asset in him.

Congratulations to the talented Spanish tennis player and to the careful and strategic management of his sponsors!
