1- Novak Djokovic (2015) – $21,146,145: a "superhuman" season

2015 remains an unsurpassable monument. An almost unreal year where Djokovic, world number one with a titanic record of 82-6 (93.2%), rewrote the human limits of tennis.

The Serb lifted 11 trophies, including 3 Grand Slams, the ATP Finals and 6 Masters 1000, and was a finalist almost everywhere else.

3- Jannik Sinner (2025) – $19,120,641: imperial confirmation

In 2025, Sinner repeated and confirmed his new stature: that of an unavoidable player.

With six major titles, including Wimbledon, the Australian Open and the ATP Finals, the Italian compiled another monstrous season.

Alcaraz in 2025 is fire, passion, limitless talent.

Finals at Wimbledon and the ATP Finals: the Spaniard confirmed he is already cut out to rival the most iconic seasons.

5- Andy Murray (2016) – $16,349,701: the golden year that lifted him to the top

2016 is the year Murray transformed his game, his mentality, and his status.

Nine titles, a magical end to the season, an Olympic gold medal, and a return to the top of the rankings: the Briton experienced the best season of his career.

6- Rafael Nadal (2019) – $16,349,586: the rebirth of a king

This season remains one of Nadal's most complete: Roland-Garros, US Open, Rome, Canada…

7- Novak Djokovic (2018) – $15,967,184: the boss is back

After a difficult period, Djokovic returned to the top with authority.

Wimbledon, US Open, Cincinnati, Shanghai… A season where he reclaimed the world throne.

In 2023, Djokovic came close to the calendar Grand Slam and swept up almost everything: Australian Open, Roland-Garros, US Open, ATP Finals, Cincinnati, Paris…

The Serb thus continued to push the boundaries of longevity.

9- Rafael Nadal (2017) – $15,864,000: an exceptional season
