Jannik Sinner joins Tennis' $50 million club after Vienna Open triumph

Sinner has won four ATP titles in 2025 season so far.

Following his title win at the Vienna Open 2025, Italian tennis sensation Jannik Sinner has reached another remarkable milestone, surpassing $50 million in career prize money.

The 24-year-old Italian star lifted his fourth title of the year in Austria with straight sets win over Alexander Zverev in the final, pushing his total earnings to $50,460,897. This makes him only the eighth player in ATP or WTA history to reach the $50 million dollars mark.

This places Sinner among some of the biggest names the sport has ever seen, including Novak Djokovic, Rafael Nadal, Roger Federer, Serena Williams, and Andy Murray.

What makes this feat even more special is that Sinner is only the second player born in the 2000s to reach this milestone, after his arch-rival Carlos Alcaraz.

Alcaraz surpassed $50 million in career prize money after winning the US Open in September 2025. His victory came with a $5 million prize, which pushed his total career earnings to around $53.5 million. The win also saw him reclaim the world number one ranking from Sinner. 

Meanwhile, Sinner’s Vienna Open victory came with a winner’s cheque of €511,835 (around $596,000), pushing him over the $50 million threshold.

Currently, Djokovic is the all-time leader in career prize money, with earnings approaching $200 million. Rafael Nadal follows with $134,946,100, while the Swiss legend Roger Federer, remains one of the wealthiest athletes in tennis.

Despite having less career prize money than Djokovic ($130,594,339), Federer’s net worth exceeds $1 billion, thanks to his successful investments and global endorsements.

Now coming to Sinner, it has been quite the season for the current World No.2, even after serving a three-month doping ban earlier in the year.

He’s been on fire, winning four ATP titles, including Vienna, and two Grand Slams (the Australian Open and Wimbledon). He’s also reached the final in all four majors this season and currently holds a 21-match unbeaten streak on indoor hard courts.

Next up, the Italian heads to the ATP Paris Masters 2025, where he’ll look to capture his first title at the event. The winner’s prize in Paris stands at €946,610 (around ₹9.7 crore) and given Sinner’s current form, few would bet against him adding even more to that $50 million total.
