Novak Djokovic is the absolute leader in ATP career prize money with a lead of more than $50 million over his closest pursuer, Rafael Nadal. The podium is, of course, completed by Roger Federer, making them the only male tennis players to have surpassed the $100 million mark in on-court earnings.
At TennisUpToDate, we review the top earners on the ATP Tour, with six active players in the top 10. With only a few years in their careers, Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner have already secured their places in the top 10 for all-time prize money. Curiously, both are still behind the German Alexander Zverev, who holds the fifth position behind the Big-4.
Over the years, prize money has increased progressively at every tournament, which has helped more contemporary players achieve higher positions despite not achieving the same results as their predecessors. Players like Stefanos Tsitsipas, Grigor Dimitrov, and Andrey Rublev manage to enter the top 20, while other multiple Grand Slam champions like Boris Becker or Ivan Lendl fall further down the table.
