The ATP Finals win took the Italian to over 30 million dollars in career prize money
We’ve just seen Jannik Sinner win the ATP Finals in his home country and finishing off the season in the best way possible. And what a season it’s been… Especially on hard-court we’ve seen total dominance from the 23-year-old.
Last week was just another one of those weeks where no-one could stop Sinner. Not a set lost in the whole event (not even losing more than four games in a set) and this time it paid off very well.
The Nitto ATP Finals title paid out a record amount of $4,881,100 and what that cheque, Sinner goes way over 30M in prize money for his career. With his $33,989,584 earned, he takes the no 10 spot in the top earners in ATP history, at just 23 years of age. The Italian is actually just the 3rd player born in the 2000’s to reach over 30 million, after Alcaraz and Iga Swiatek.

The prize money on at the ATP Finals was a record breaking amount for the ATP Tour, however it’s still less than the cheque of around $7,500,000 Sinner collected after winning the Six Kings Slam exhibition event in Saudi Arabia earlier this year. That win sparked a bit of a debate on prize money and the importance of it in tennis.
Fritz over $20 million
The runner-up in Turin, Taylor Fritz, has enjoyed his best season ever and the American climbed over 20 million USD in career prize money, total of $21,087,553.
The 2nd place in Turin took Fritz to no 4 in the world rankings, while Sinner sits very comfortable at the top by a huge margin.
