^^is that trophy PURE Gold ?
It is! The most expensive trophy in any sport.
The players are only allowed to "lift" it though (hence the poll's title

). Then they will be given a silver replica to take home.
"Wrapped around a small column are 32 tennis rackets bearing the names of the most important grand slam winners in history. On the top there is a golden tennis ball with Ion Tiriac’s name on it."
"It is comprised of 96 individual, hand-finished components in 6.5 kg of solid rose gold and stands 430mm high. Its total weight is 7.5 kg and is set with 33 TW VVS 1 diamonds (10.9 carats) making it the most expensive trophy ever created for any sport.
On the top of the trophy is a tennis ball in honour of Ion Tiriac, a relentless advocate of the sport and the base of the trophy is a black obsidian "globe", with the continents represented in plates of solid gold. One solitaire diamond marks Madrid and the globe is supported by 10 columns symbolising the world's ten most important championships.
In addition to lifting this masterpiece for the first time at the Mutua Madrid Open, its winner will take home a silver replica of approximately 3 kilos and 330mm high."
