Jannik Sinner enjoyed a historic 2024 season, culminating in a record-breaking year for prize money earnings. The Italian star amassed a staggering £15.8 million ($19.7m) in prize money alone, surpassing even Novak Djokovic’s previous single-season record.
Sinner’s dominant year, which saw him claim eight titles, including the Australian Open and US Open, catapulted him to the top of the men’s tennis rankings. His impressive winning percentage and consistent performances across all surfaces solidified his position as one of the best players in the world.
This financial windfall places Sinner among the highest-earning athletes in tennis history. While Djokovic still holds the record for the highest single-season earnings, Sinner’s achievement is a testament to his exceptional talent and dedication.
Other top earners on the ATP Tour in 2024 included Alexander Zverev (£9.2m), Carlos Alcaraz (£8.3m), Taylor Fritz, Daniil Medvedev, Casper Ruud, and Stefanos Tsitsipas, all of whom surpassed the seven-figure mark.
Despite his retirement in November, Rafael Nadal remains a significant figure in tennis history, with over £103 million in career prize money earnings.
Sinner’s remarkable success in 2024 has solidified his status as one of the most exciting young talents in tennis. With his continued hard work and dedication, he is poised to achieve even greater things in the years to come.
