The ‘Fifth Grand Slam‘ tournament is now at its business end. Excitement levels are already sky-high, before the mega finals on Sunday. Carlos Alcaraz will take on Daniil Medvedev in the finals of the tournament, a repetition of last year’s final. Who will be the ultimate winner of the 2024 BNP Paribas Open in Indian Wells and how much prize money will the champion take home?
Well, looking at the form he’s currently in, it’d be a daring call to rule him out in the finals. Carlos Alcaraz has rocketed to tennis stardom since making his professional debut. Now, he’s also predicted to become the highest-paid player in the history of the racket sport in the near future. A few months ago, the BNP Paribas Open announced a total of $19 M in prize money for this year’s tournament.
It’s almost an increase of more than $1.4 M over the previous editions and, in fact, the most in the history of the tournament.
