I'm sure it's more than 46% tax in France," Rune's response to Alcaraz's Roland-Garros earnings

After his victory at Roland-Garros, Alcaraz received €2.55 million, the largest sum ever paid to a player in the tournament's history. A substantial amount, but one that will be taxed at a rate of 46% by Spanish authorities, according to the website *El Economista*.

When asked about this on X, Rune responded by stating: "You pay taxes on your earnings in the country where you play. I’m sure it’s more than 46% in France. But you can deduct your expenses."

An interesting insight from the world No. 8, who was eliminated in the round of 16 by Musetti, and which explains why tennis players often choose to reside in specific locations like Switzerland or Monaco, as explained by the media outlet *Tennis Up To Date*.

Rune also commented on this topic: "For the climate, tennis facilities, and privacy, yes, absolutely, living in Monaco is an advantage.
