The winning bid is 4,410 euros and they are on their way again to New York, where the anonymous citizen who won them resides.
The signed shoes with which Carlos Alcaraz won the United States Tennis Open last September have been auctioned by 4.410 euros and they have flown again to New York, where the anonymous citizen who has won the bid resides.
The young player from Murcia, 19 years old and number 1 in the worldwho has tattooed the words with which his grandfather encourages him, “head, heart and balls”, donated the shoes to the Association of People with Down Syndrome (Assido) to help dedicate the proceeds, some 10,000 euros in total , to different inclusive culture and leisure projects in 2023.
The auction, developed on line in www.assidosubasta.eshas ended with a few frantic final moments given the interest in getting hold of the articles that were part of it and more than 10,000 euros were raised.
“Once again, our ambassador Carlos Alcaraz demonstrates his Commitment to the people of their land and to the Murcians who need it most contributing to making many life projects of people with Down syndrome and intellectual disabilities a reality and spreading the values of Assido throughout the world”, stated the president of the association, Víctor Martínez.
“I am such a big fan of Carlitos, that is great” (“I’m a big fan of Carlitos, this is great”), said the winner of the sports, who prefers to remain anonymous, according to Assido, founded in Murcia in 1981, the second oldest Down syndrome association in Spain, with more than 400 users and three centers.
