A large portion of the ATP bonus money goes to C,arlos Alcaraz the player who performed the best during the 2023 season.
When playing on the Tour, tennis players can make money in a variety of ways. The majority comes from prize money wins, which are directly tied to how well they perform.
Players can earn more money in addition to the amount awarded at each stage of an event. They may also be eligible for a bonus at the conclusion of the year, which is given out by the ATP and is worth about $20 million, based on how well they do at specific events.
Following some outstanding play all year long, Carlos Alcaraz is the player who received the largest bonus payout this year. With $4,443,073, the Spaniard is the highest earner on the list, surpassing Daniil Medvedev, who is ranked second with $2,308,344.
Jannik Sinner brought home a hefty $2,106,872 to place third on the bonus list. The list of players who received bonuses totaling more over one million dollars ends with Andrey Rublev, who placed fourth.
It’s interesting to see how the bonus money is added to the prize money on the final earnings list. With about $16 million in earnings, Djokovic topped the list of players with the greatest earnings thanks to his heroics during the Grand Slam.
Alcaraz, Medvedev, and Sinner are the next few players, each having made over $10 million. For the first time in tennis history, four players have earned over $10 million in a single season. This is mostly because more players are stepping up to the plate.
A contributing factor in that is the sport’s increasing commercialization, which enables competitions to award larger prize pools. In the upcoming years, that will only get better, with gamers earning more
