Jannik Sinner clinched his first ATP Finals title on Sunday, joining the elite ranks of the Top 10 prize money earners in ATP history.
With a strong finish to 2023, expectations were sky-high for Sinner as he headed into 2024. He had just helped Team Italy win the Davis Cup and was a runner-up to Novak Djokovic at the ATP Finals.
But what happened next might have even shocked Sinner himself. The young Italian pulled off an incredible comeback at the Australian Open, winning his first Grand Slam by defeating Daniil Medvedev after being two sets down .

Unstoppable Rise:
Sinner’s winning streak continued with victories at both the Rotterdam Open and Miami Open. After triumphing at the French Open, he claimed the world No. 1 spot from Djokovic in the ATP rankings. Meanwhile, Carlos Alcaraz took home titles from both Wimbledon and the French Open, but Sinner soon regained his grip on hard courts by taking home a US Open win against Taylor Fritz in a decisive final match. Fans might think this is just the beginning for him.
Not stopping there, he also bagged another title at Cincinnati before finishing second to Alcaraz in China and then securing victory at Shanghai Masters. This made him the fastest player since Djokovic in 2015 to lock down year-end No. 1 status.
While some might relax after such feats, Sinner’s determination kept him pushing forward without losing a set all through to Turin’s season-ending tournament final.
Meeting Fritz again in a rematch of their US Open clash, Sinner emerged victorious once more with scores of 6-4, 6-4 amidst cheers from his home crowd—a significant milestone outside Grand Slams for him!
The world No. 1 pocketed $4,881,100 from this triumph; however astonishingly enough it wasn’t even his largest payout that year—he previously earned $6 million from three matches during Six Kings Slam exhibition games!
His performance boosted career earnings up to $33,989,584—leaping six spots on prize money charts past Tomas Berdych among others—and landing within top ten alongside rival Alcaraz who sits one place ahead having accumulated over $36 million already!
Novak Djokovic remains far ahead leading with an astounding $185 million while Rafael Nadal follows closely behind holding onto second position ($134 million) trailed by Roger Federer ($130 million). Andy Murray along with Alexander Zverev plus Pete Sampras join Daniil Medvedev & Stan Wawrinka rounding out rest atop leaderboard—all eyes now watching how close rising stars like Sinner & Alcaraz can get toward these legends’ numbers given their remarkable progress throughout recent seasons… What do you think about these young players challenging such greats?
