Tennis top seed Carlos Alcaraz from Spain donated his 2022 US Open title-winning sneakers for a charity auction.
“Once again, our ambassador Carlos Alcaraz demonstrates his commitment to the people of his land and to the people of Murcia who need it most by helping to make many life projects of people with Down syndrome and intellectual disabilities come true and spreading the values of Assido through the whole world”, Victor Martinez, the president of the Association of People with Down Syndrome (ASSIDO) said on Saturday.
ASSIDO was founded in Spain’s Murcia in 1981.
Alcaraz, 19, signed his US Open shoes before donating them to the organization, and his sneakers were auctioned for €2,250 (around $2,386).
In September, Alcaraz won the 2022 US Open men’s singles, which was his first major title.
He has been the world no. 1 in men’s tennis since his triumph in New York City.
