Carlos Alcaraz joins exclusive prize money list after US Open title win
Alcaraz does seem to be in tennis for the trophies rather than the money, but he certainly won’t say no to such a huge financial reward.
And he is now part of an exclusive list with the success in New York, joining a handful of iconic figures with more than $50million in prize money.
There’s simply no telling just how far Alcaraz can rise in that list, having already won 23 ATP titles at the age of 22.
He does, however, need to stay grounded despite his stunning success, which shouldn’t prove to be a problem.

| 1 | Novak Djokovic | $190,194,053 |
| 2 | Rafael Nadal | $134,946,100 |
| 3 | Roger Federer | $130,594,339 |
| 4 | Serena Williams | $94,816,730 |
| 5 | Andy Murray | $64,687,542 |
| 6 | Alexander Zverev | $54,692,659 |
| 7 | Carlos Alcaraz | $53,486,628 |
Despite his youth, Alcaraz has proven his humility time and time again, constantly setting a fine example on and off the court.
Sinner meanwhile likely won’t have to wait long to surpass $50million in career earnings, having combined with Alcaraz to win the last eight Grand Slam titles.
