The world number one is currently the top prize money earner in the 2024 season.
In this amazing season, Jannik Sinner won a total of 7 titles, including two Grand Slam titles and three ATP Masters 1000 trophies. This made him the first Italian player to reach the ATP No. 1 position in history. A record that Sinner will hold at least until the new season begins.
Consider the results Sinner has achieved in recent days at The Six Kings Slam, an exhibition tournament held in Riyadh that has earned Jannik a staggering $6 million. That’s an incredible amount for three matches, adding to the prize money the young Italian has accumulated in 2024.
Including the tournament in Saudi Arabia, Jannik Sinner has earned $17 million in 2024, but the season is not over yet and the Italian could become the highest-earning tennis player in a single season, breaking Novak Djokovic’s long-standing record.
In fact, the Serbian champion earned a whopping $18 million in 2017, a record that has not been broken for the past seven years, despite the continued increase in prize money. However, the season is not over yet, as there are still the ATP Masters 1000 in Paris-Bercy and the ATP Finals in Turin.
The tournament in France could bring in close to $1 million to the winner, while the difference comes from the ATP Finals in Turin, where the winner will be guaranteed $4.4 million if he goes all the way without losing a single match, including in the Group Stage of the tournament.
Jannik’s 2024 has been an incredible year, not least because of the Italian’s rise over the past twelve months, which has seen him rise from outside the top 10 to world No. 1.
