Carlos Alcaraz is the player who takes home the biggest amount of ATP bonus money thanks to his efforts during the 2023 season.
Tennis players earn money in several ways while competing on the Tour. Most of it is through prize money winnings, which are directly correlated with their performance.
Every stage of an event hands out a certain amount, but that's not the only money that players earn. Depending on how well they perform at certain events, they can also earn a bonus at the end of the year, which is distributed by the ATP and totals around $20 million.
Carlos Alcaraz is the player who took away the most bonus money this year after some tremendous performance throughout the year. The Spaniard tops the list with $4,443,073 ahead of Daniil Medvedev, number two on that list with $2,308,344.
Jannik Sinner finished 3rd on the bonus list with $2,106,872, which is a pretty big amount. Andrey Rublev finished 4th, which concludes the list of players who earned over a million in bonuses.
The bonus money gets added to the prize money on the final list of earnings, which is pretty interesting to look at. Djokovic's Grand Slam heroics put him at the top of that list as the player who earned the most with almost $16 million.
The next few players include Alcaraz, Medvedev, and Sinner, who all earned over $10 million. It's the first time in tennis history that four players passed the `$10 million mark in one season, and it's mostly due to parity with more players stepping up.
Part of that is also the commercial growth of the sport, which allows for more prize money to be handed out by events. That's only going to improve in the coming years, with players earning more and more.
