Despite Carlos Alcaraz performed at a level amazingthe regularity of Jannick Sinner ended up winning over the Murcian and all the tennis players who dared to try attack the world number one.
Eight titles in one year, including two Grand Slams (Australian Open and US Open), in addition to the recently won Masters Cup. Fisherman He dominated the final from start to finish, managing to lift the trophy undefeated and win the highest financial reward on the ATP Tour.
Now the question that arises is clear: Is Sinner the player who the most money he made in a single season in the history of tennis? Let’s do the math. According to official figures provided by the ATP circuit, the Italian pocketed a total of 16,914,035 dollars only in tournament prizes. It should be remembered that these figures do not take into account profits obtained outside of tennis.
To those almost seventeen million We must add the generous prize of the “Six Kings Slam” which, according to the tournament itself, was approximately six kilos. Overall, Jannick won something close to 23 million of dollars.
The question is whether there is anyone who has exceeded this figure in a year. The answer is clear, no. The one who held the record until now was Novak Djokovic who, according to the ATP circuit, won in 2015 a little more eighteen million dollars only in tournaments.
So this can be confirmed. Jannick Sinnerwith his spectacular season, becomes the tennis player who has earned the most money during a season taking into account only the prizes won in tournaments.
Yes, it is true that we must take into account the fact that each year, the prizes awarded to win a competition are higher. This, added to the appearance of the “Six Kings Slam”, means that Sinner’s feat, even if spectacular, loses merit knowing that tennis players like the “BigThree” did not have access to such generous prices.
