Carlos Alcaraz just earned another title — most expensive racket ever sold at auction — ’cause the tennis superstar’s 2023 Wimbledon Finals equipment just went to a new owner for a whopping $173K!!!
Bidding on the incredible piece of memorabilia ended Sunday night … and the final price surpassed the $157K mark set by Nadal’s 2017 French Open Championship racket, which held the record for just a few months.
Prestige Memorabilia— which listed the piece — was able to photomatch the racket to 10 dates … including his match against Novak Djokovic in the 2023 Wimbledon finale.
The then 20-year-old was able to take down Djokovic in five sets … an epic match that lasted four hours. It marked his first win at Wimbledon and his second Grand Slam.
While the lucky bidder is unknown … it’s hard to imagine the value of this racket won’t continue to skyrocket. After all, the Spaniard just turned 22 in May!!
It’s been another strong year for Carlos — he’s currently the No. 1 tennis player in the world.
Just last month, he took home the W at the U.S. Open, defeating Jannik Sinner in four sets — marking his second win at the tournament and his eighth singles title win this season.
