Sinner Seventh Highest Career Prize Money in History
Italian prodigy Jannik Sinner has just entered a very exclusive club: that of players who have surpassed the $50 million mark in career earnings.
By winning the ATP 500 in Vienna this weekend, the Italian added a trophy to his record, but also a new check to his bank account. The 24-year-old world number two is now the seventh player in history to exceed $50 million in tournament earnings. A figure that, until now, was reserved for other legends of the game like Djokovic, Nadal, and Federer.
Having been a professional since 2018, Sinner took only seven seasons to reach this symbolic milestone. A fact explained by the considerable increase in prize money over the last 20+ years.
Specifically, Sinner has $50,460,897 in cumulative earnings, a total that places him just behind Carlos Alcaraz ($53.9M) and Alexander Zverev ($55.6M), two rivals with whom he shares the world's biggest tennis stages.
Ahead of him, Novak Djokovic takes the throne with $190.5 million, followed by Rafael Nadal ($134.9M), Roger Federer ($130.6M), and Andy Murray ($64.6M).
As a reminder, tournaments today offer unprecedented financial rewards. The US Open, for example, awarded the largest purse in tennis history to its 2025 winners ($5 million).
So, there is no doubt that at this rate, the figures are likely to soar as fast as his forehands.
