$21 Million Masters Prize Pool revealed: Alcaraz and Sinner lead the way, as Djokovic sits outside the top-15

Friday, 07 November 2025 at 11:38

The ATP revealed the 30 players who will share the $21 million Prize Pool for having the best results in Masters 1000 tournaments and the ATP Finals. The list is topped by Carlos Alcaraz—winner of 3 Masters 1000 titles—leaving Jannik Sinner in second place, though with a difference of more than 1,000 points.

It should be noted that the Italian missed up to five Masters 1000 tournaments this season: Indian Wells, Miami Open, Monte-Carlo, and Madrid Open (all due to the doping ban suspension), plus the Canadian Open for physical recovery amid the American hardcourt swing. On the other hand, Alcaraz missed three events: Madrid, Canadian Open, and Shanghai, which will result in a significant deduction for both.

In fact, the World No. 1 Sinner will completely miss out on his share of the prize money despite finishing second with less than half the number of tournaments. According to ATP regulations, absence from Masters 1000 tournaments will result in a 25% deduction from the prize pool earned (considering 8 of the 9 Masters—with the exception of Monte-Carlo) for each tournament missed. This means Alcaraz will receive a 75% deduction, while Sinner will be unable to pocket any money.

Surprisingly closing the podium is Britain's Jack Draper, another player who missed several tournaments this season. The 2025 Indian Wells champion accumulated 1,960 points in five Masters 1000 tournaments in the first half of the year, winning a title at the start of the Sunshine Double and also reaching the final at the Madrid Open.

Further down the Top 10 are the other three players who achieved Masters 1000 titles this year: Casper Ruud (Madrid), Jakub Mensik (Miami), and Ben Shelton (Canadian Open). Curiously, each of them—discounting their titles—had irregular results in this category of tournaments, and without the titles, they wouldn't even be within the Top 20.

Consistency pays off

Several players were rewarded for consistency, such as the Italian Lorenzo Musetti (4th), who only reached one final in Monte-Carlo (loss to Alcaraz), plus semi-finals in Madrid and Rome, totaling a 19-9 record after playing all 9 Masters tournaments of the year.

This is also the case for Germany's Alexander Zverev (6th), owner of 7 Masters titles in his career (and 5 runner-up finishes), but who this year had to settle for three semi-final appearances (Canadian Open, Cincinnati, and Paris Masters), all in the second half of the season.

Similar to Zverev's case is what Daniil Medvedev achieved, another player with great results in this category of tournaments throughout his career (6 titles and four finals), but who this year 'only' reached semi-finals in Indian Wells and Shanghai, in addition to quarter-finals in Madrid and Paris.
