Carlos Alcaraz’s win at Wimbledon caused quite a stir on social media. Millions of his fans have come to celebrate this new triumph, the second Grand Slam of his career after winning the US Open in 2022, and retaining his long-awaited No. 1 spot in the ATP rankings.

A triumph that has also been spoken about by several celebrities, such as Sebastián Yatra, who stopped a concert to congratulate him, Fernando Alonso and Rafa Nadal, among others. A series of athletes including one of the sensations of the moment, Ilia Topuria, published daily ACE.

The UFC fighter wanted to reflect that confidence he has always shown in the tennis player and therefore bet $ 50,000 (just over 44,000 euros) on his victory in the final against Novak Djokovic.

A bet that he eventually won, which made the Spanish-Georgian celebrate on his networks and once again express his confidence: “Mr. Carlitos, congratulations. I never doubted it. Many people yesterday invited me to withdraw my bet, but since I had done it with great confidence, I didn’t hesitate for a moment. Congratulations, you’ve earned it.”

More than 211,000 euros profit

Carlos Alcaraz was not the favorite to win the London trophy, especially when Djokovic was his rival, and the fact is that the Serb has not suffered a defeat on British soil since 2017.

However, Topuria was confident and this led him to nearly five times his bet, taking home a total of $237,500, which is just over $211,000 in exchange.

A big win in his bet that also led him to publish a story on his Instagram profile saying that “I’m going to withdraw it now”. (D)
