Nadal and Alcaraz were berated for charging $150,000 for private sessions

Tennis giants Carlos Alcaraz and Rafael Nadal will aim to recover from injury in time to play in the Netflix Slam streamed exclusively live on the streaming service on March 3.

But also they will bank even more cash than they are being paid due to mind-boggling prices for group and private sessions that have been confirmed.

Screenshots were released by Functional Tennis on Instagram showing that a private session with Nadal or Alcaraz costs $150,000 per person and for a group clinic, it is $50,000.

This goes down in price for some of the lesser names. American Number One Taylor Fritz alongside Frances Tiafoe will charge $25,000 per person.

While former American kingpins John Isner and Sam Querrey in comparison will charge a more affordable $2,000 per person. Bob Bryan and Mike Bryan were charging the same price but this has since sold out as have the private sessions with the big names.

Las Vegas is a city known for its riches and it seems like fans are desperate to have their time with the two Spanish kingpins. This received mixed reactions on social media. "I couldn't think of anything more embarrassing than showing Nadal my forehand for $150k," one user hilariously penned.

Others believed it was wrong for them to take the huge cash grabs knowing they were both very wealthy. "This is insane. Both of these players are billionaires but are charging $150k each for a coaching session. Wouldn't it be better to give free coaching sessions to kids from low-income or deprived families?" another wrote. "Important to give back and not always take. "

Mainly the discourse about pricing was aimed at Nadal. "This is horrible. Shame on all those players exploiting fans to this extent. How low Rafa can go now from the Saudi deal to milking every possible deal until the end? At least Roger (Federer) and Serena (Williams) retired with dignity."
