Tennis trailblazer Carlos Alcaraz, the highest seed from Spain, generously donated his 2022 U.S. Open title-winning sneakers for a charity public sale, sending ripples of goodwill all through the sporting world.
“Once again, our ambassador Carlos Alcaraz demonstrates his commitment to the people of his land and to the people of Murcia. He is helping people with Down syndrome and intellectual disabilities to fulfill their dreams by spreading the values of Assido worldwide,” Victor Martinez, the president of the Association of People with Down Syndrome (ASSIDO) mentioned on Saturday.
ASSIDO was based in Spain’s Murcia in 1981.
Alcaraz, 19, signed his U.S. Open footwear earlier than donating them to the group, and his sneakers have been auctioned for two,250 euros (round $2,386).
In September, Alcaraz gained the 2022 U.S. Open males’s singles, which was his first main title.
He has been the world No. 1 in males’s tennis since his triumph in New York City.
