ATP prize money leaders for 2025: Who earned the most? ft. Jannik Sinner, Carlos Alcaraz, Novak Djokovic, Taylor Fritz

Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner dominated the 2025 season on the ATP Tour. Their duopoly saw them sweep all four Majors for the second year in a row. Novak Djokovic proved that he's still capable of giving the young guns a run for their money, and won a couple of titles.

Ben Shelton, Jack Draper, and Lorenzo Musetti took their careers to the next level with their results this year. Taylor Fritz and Alexander Zverev also proved their status as experienced veterans with some solid results.

With the aforementioned names claiming most of the big trophies, it's hardly surprising to know that they're the tour's top earners this season. On that note, here's a look at the players who earned the most prize money on the ATP Tour in 2025:

---

#10. Jack Draper ($3.4 million)

Jack Draper won his maiden Masters 1000 title at the Indian Wells Masters, which contributed $1,201,125 to his yearly haul of $3.4 million. His runner-up finish at the Madrid Open also added over $500,000 to his income this year.

Despite being in great form, Draper couldn't capitalize on it on account of recurring injuries. He eventually shut down his season following his withdrawal from the US Open due to an arm injury.

#9. Ben Shelton ($4.7 million)

Ben Shelton took home $4.7 million in prize money this year, the most he has earned in a single season. He claimed his first Masters 1000 trophy at the Canadian Open, which alone fetched him $1,124,380.

Shelton also made the semifinals of the Australian Open at the start of the year, and earned $717,000 for his efforts. A quarterfinal appearance at Wimbledon added another $525,000 to his yearly total.

#8. Lorenzo Musetti ($4.8 million)

A career-best season for Lorenzo Musetti also rewarded him financially, securing $4.8 million in 2025. He reached his maiden Masters 1000 final at the Monte-Carlo Masters, and his very first Major semifinal at the French Open. He lost to Carlos Alcaraz on both occasions.

Musetti's run in Paris fetched him $800,000, while his runner-up finish in Monte Carlo made him richer by approximately $600,000. Despite not winning a title this year, his consistent performances placed him in the top 10 of the year-end rankings as well as the prize money list.

#7. Novak Djokovic ($5.1 million)

Novak Djokovic was quite picky with his tournaments this year, yet he made $5.1 million. He reached the semifinals of all four Majors this season, becoming the oldest player to accomplish this feat.

Djokovic's semifinal showing at the US Open was the most beneficial in terms of financial enrichment, endowing him with $1,260,000. He also finished as the runner-up to Jakub Mensik at the Miami Open, which rewarded him with a check worth $597,890. However, his prize money haul this year is only a fraction of the whopping $21 million he earned during his incredible 2015 season.

#6. Alex de Minaur ($5.24 million)

Alex de Minaur cemented his position as one of the most consistent players on the tour this year, with his second consecutive year-end top 10 finish. A quarterfinal showing at the US Open, worth $660,000, and a semifinal finish at the ATP Finals, worth $727,500, contributed heavily to his yearly earnings of $5.24 million.

De Minaur won his only title of the season at the Citi DC Open, which added another $420,525 to his yearly total. He also came up short in the Rotterdam final, which secured him $241,650 in prize money.

#5. Felix Auger-Aliassime ($5.26 million)

Felix Auger-Aliassime made it a year to remember on the personal and professional fronts. He married Nina Ghaibi, his partner of six years, in September. He won three titles this year, was the runner-up at the Paris Masters, and made the semifinals of the US Open and the ATP Finals.

Auger-Aliassime's impressive results helped him earn $5.26 million this year. His semifinal run in New York got him $1,260,000, while his recent performance at the ATP Finals added $1,124,000 to his bank account.

#4. Taylor Fritz ($5.4 million)

While Taylor Fritz didn't match the highs from the previous season, he still performed quite well this year. Highlights from his year include two titles from three finals, as well as semifinal runs at Wimbledon and a couple of Masters 1000 tournaments.

Fritz's earnings of $5.4 million this year are significantly less compared to the $8.2 million he made last year. That was due to his runner-up finishes at the US Open and the ATP Finals, which upped his prize money by a fair margin. The absence of such strong results naturally led to his lowered winnings.

---

#3. Alexander Zverev ($6 million)

Despite an inconsistent season, Zverev maintained his position as a top 10 mainstay for another year. A runner-up finish at the Australian Open helped him reach at least the $6 million mark for the fourth time in his career.

However, Zverev made $11.5 million a year ago, so this is a huge downturn in earnings for him. He simply wasn't as consistent as he was a year ago, and that's accurately reflected by his prize money total as well.

#2. Carlos Alcaraz ($18.8 million)

Carlos Alcaraz produced the best season of his career in 2025. He secured the year-end No. 1 ranking for the second time, and won eight titles from 11 finals, including the French Open and the US Open.

Alcaraz's triumph at the US Open contributed $5 million to his yearly earnings, while his French Open victory added nearly $3 million to his account. His recent runner-up finish at the ATP Finals was another money-maker for him, bestowing him with $2.7 million.

The 2025 season was Alcaraz's best in terms of prize money, breaching the $16 million benchmark he set for himself with his earnings last year. He crossed $50 million in career prize money with his on-court income this year, with his current tally standing at $57 million.

#1. Jannik Sinner ($19.1 million)

Jannik Sinner laughed all the way to the bank this year after making $19.1 million. He almost matched his prize money haul of $19.7 million from last year. He won the Australian Open and Wimbledon this year, along with the ATP Finals and three more titles.

Sinner's win at the ATP Finals fetched him $5.07 million in prize money, setting the record for most prize money earned from a single tournament. Additionally, he also won the Six Kings Slam, an exhibition event, which rewarded him with a $6 million payday.

However, since it was an exhibition event, it isn't counted towards his official earnings from the ATP Tour. Sinner's career prize money total now stands at $56 million, trailing only Alcaraz and Djokovic among active players.
