Jannik Sinner became just the seventh man in tennis history to amass $50 million in career prize money after winning the Vienna Open title for a second time.

Sinner overcame an inspired Alexander Zverev in Sunday’s final to secure the title. The top seed rallied from a set down and then battled cramps in the third set before sealing a 3-6 6-3 7-5 victory in two and a half hours.

The World No. 2 extends his perfect record on indoor hard courts to 21-0. It was also his 21st ATP Tour title and could still reclaim the No. 1 ranking after the Paris Masters and stay there for at least one more week before the ATP Finals points fall off.

Sinner joins Alcaraz in breaching the $50 million mark in career prize money

For now, Sinner will join an exclusive club of the wealthiest tennis players. He is the second player this season to surpass the $50 million mark in career prize money, joining his close rival Carlos Alcaraz who did so after winning the US Open in September.

The Big Three are the only players to amass over $100 million in career prize money. Novak Djokovic tops the list with $190,526,213, while retired legends Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer earned $134,946,100 and $130,594,339 respectively.

Sinner’s exact total after bagging the title in Vienna stands at a colossal $50,460,897. This figure includes all prize money amounts Sinner earned from competing and winning ATP and Grand Slam tournaments. Sinner has earned much more in endorsements and from lucrative exhibitions events.

The Italian was named as the second-highest paid tennis player in 2025 and made a reported combined amount of $12 million for winning the Six Kings Slam in Saudi Arabia in successive years. However, those funds are not included in the final career prize money tally as it was not ATP-affiliated tournament.

Sinner will also breach the $13 million mark in 2025 prize money. He has earned $12,942,867 despite serving a three-month doping suspension earlier this season. Only Alcaraz ($16,048,017) has earned more in prize money this season.

Sinner has qualified for the ATP Finals where the prize money check for an undefeated champion this year exceeds $5 million and the participation fee is $331,000. Each round robin win pays off $396,500. It could be the first time in ATP history that at least two players might earn over $15 million in prize money in a single season.
