Jannik Sinner has a successful year in 2025 – also in financial terms. But how does the superstar from South Tyrol fare in the all-time ranking of prize money?

From: never
Twelve tournaments, ten finals and six titles, including the Australian Open and Wimbledon – Jannik Sinner can look back on an impressive season. With his triumph at the ATP Finals in Turin, the South Tyrolean celebrated a perfect end to the year, which also gave him a financial boost. In total, the 24-year-old earned $19.12 million in 2025; only his Spanish arch-rival Carlos Alcaraz earned more on the court (21.35 million). Astronomical sums for the two youngsters, who still have a few calibers ahead of them when compared.
If you expand your view to the prize money over the course of entire careers, Sinner and Alcaraz are – understandably – not yet at the top of the ranking. With 56.32 million US dollars, Sinner “only” remains in seventh place in the all-time top 10, while Alcaraz is already among the five richest tennis players in history in terms of gaming income (60.03 million). By the way, the German Alexander Zverev (58.13 million) ranks between the two. But who is at the front?
Djokovic is unrivaled in first place
As is often the case in tennis, the answer to this question is: The Big Four. Two-time Olympic champion and three-time Grand Slam champion Andy Murray is within touching distance of Alcaraz and could soon be pushed out of fourth place (64.68 million). The top 3, however, are still a long way away.

Roger Federer, a 20-time Grand Slam winner and 310 weeks at number one in the world rankings, amassed prize money of $130.59 million during his illustrious career. Just ahead of him was his long-time competitor and friend Rafael Nadal (22 GS titles, 209 weeks) with 134.94 million. Meanwhile, Novak Djokovic greets you from the top: As the player with the most titles at majors (24) and weeks as number one (428), he earned an incredible $191.25 million.
A multiple of the sums earned by Sinner and Alcaraz – which underlines: Despite all the early comparisons with the great icons of the sport, the two sky-strikers still have a long way to go to the eternal top. The consistency of the Big Three remains unmatched, at least for now.
