Carlos Alcaraz Leads Rankings and Targets Big Bonus for Tennis Achievements

Carlos Alcaraz received a bonus of 2.4 million dollars at the end of last season for finishing as number one ahead of Rafael Nadal.

It would have been something more if he had not missed the Rome Masters 1000 due to injury, one of the eight mandatory TMS. That succulent bonus has changed this season.

On the one hand, there is a prize pool of 20 million dollars to be distributed among the 30 tennis players. who have accumulated the most points in the Masters 1000 and the ATP Finals.

There is a second fixed amount of $1,300,000 to be distributed among the top 5 players with the best results achieved in 500 tournaments.. In the specific case of Alcaraz, He is currently the leader of both classifications. He has 3,275 points in the eight TMS contested in the absence of Paris-Bercy (October 29 to November 5) and the Turin masters’ event (November 12 to 19).

Likewise, the Murcian amassed 1,480 points in his participation in the Open 500 in Barcelona and Queen’s, where he was champion, the final in Rio de Janeiro, and the semifinals in Beijing. Daniil Medvedev is hot on his heels and will surpass him in that ranking if he reaches the Vienna quarterfinals this week.

The Russian has 1,435 points and would equal Carlitos’ score in case of being among the eight best in the Vienna tournament. It would be the leader for the highest number of tournaments in the category played. Medvedev did his job yesterday and debuted with a victory against Arthur Fils, 6-4, 6-2.

$600,000 bonus

The paycheck for finishing first in the 500 tournaments’ score is $600,000 for the $300,000 that the second-place finisher would earn..

The exact amounts that the top 30 will be distributed based on their results in the nine Masters 1000 and ATP Finals are not stipulated..

The exact figure will be announced at the end of next January. What is already official is that at the next Turin teachers’ meeting there will be 15 million dollars at stake.

Just by qualifying, Novak Djokovic, Alcaraz and company are guaranteed a fixed amount of $325,500. Each of the victories in the group stage is worth $390,000. Going to the final pays $1,105,000 and being crowned has a prize of $2,201,000.

If a player, as was the case with Djokovic last year, finishes undefeated, the financial sum would rise to $4,801,500, the largest heel ever given in the history of racket sport. Andrey Rublevif he advances to the Vienna quarterfinals this Thursday, he will be the fifth ATP master.
