"Alcaraz does not need an all expenses paid holiday" - Fans shocked to see Swiatek, Badosa, Berrettini & co teaching tennis in luxury resorts

The 2025 tennis season has come to an end, but the grind never stops for players. During the off-season, the likes of Carlos Alcaraz, Iga Swiatek, Jessica Pegula, Paula Badosa, and others are scheduled to take part in various exhibition tournaments around the world.

To add to that, there are also 'tennis lessons' provided by many in luxury resorts, a move that has left fans dumbfounded. Promoted extensively by Lux Tennis, the program aims to "craft extraordinary tennis experiences that resonate both on and off the court." Several of the biggest names in the ATP and WTA world have been roped into this project, including Alcaraz, Swiatek, Badosa, and Berrettini.

For example, Swiatek is set to take part in an event in Mauritius in November, while Alcaraz is scheduled for a stop in the Turks and Caicos Islands in December. Meanwhile, Badosa and Berrettini are confirmed for an event in the Maldives at the end of this month, all hosted by Lux Tennis.

While the price charged by the players for these sessions are not exactly known, fans believe that it will include at least an all-expenses paid holiday to their destinations and more amenities during their stay.

As news about the event spread on social media, fans could not hide their shock, wondering why players who already earned multiple million dollars during the year needed more freebies in their lives.

"Alcaraz does NOT need an all expenses paid holiday what is he doing this for," one fan wrote.

"Wtf is it true that famous tennis players go for free to the Maldives and other luxury resorts in exchange for "lessons" to super-rich guests?????? I'm shocked here there are Alcaraz Berrettini Swiatek and others, who knows if Jannik does it too."

"The super-rich are super bored and would pay almost any amount just to be able to say they've done something super exclusive..I get the tennis players, in the end for an hour of tennis equivalent to a stroll they get the vacation gifted."

@JANNIKF0X I ricchissimi sono super annoiati e pagherebbero quasi qualsiasi cifra pur di poter dire che hanno fatto qualcosa di super esclusivo..i tennisti li capisco, alla fine per un'ora di tennis equivalente ad una passeggiata gli regalano la vacanza

Alcaraz and Swiatek both ended their year earlier this month, the former going out in the final of the ATP Finals and the other facing a group-stage exit at the WTA Finals. Alcaraz won $18.8 million as prize money in 2025, while Swiatek won $10 million on the WTA Tour this season.
