Jannik Sinner didn’t just leave Vienna with the trophy this year, but also a haul of 500 ranking points that keeps him in the running for year-end No. 1. But there was one more thing—the champion’s paycheque, and that paycheque has pushed him past a very big milestone.
Sinner has now surpassed $50 million dollars in career prize money, going into Vienna with $49,591,462 and leaving it with $50,460,897.
The 24-year-old Italian is just the eighth player in either ATP or WTA history to hit that number, and the second player born in the 2000s to do it, after Carlos Alcaraz, who surpassed it after the US Open.
And Sinner isn’t the only player with a career prize money milestone this week, as Alex de Minaur also hits a big one, surpassing $20 million for his career after a semifinal run in Vienna, where he fell to Sinner.
He had $19,862,102 going in and leaves with $20,195,156.
The 26-year-old, No. 6-ranked Australian is just the fifth player born in 1999 or later, male or female, to hit that number.
