Russia’s tennis star Andrey Rublev achieved a nice little milestone with his recent heroics in the Paris Masters.

That result was enough to help Rublev enter the category of players who have won more than $20 million in prize money in their careers. The list features some of the current superstars and legendary players of the past like America’s Andy Roddick, Australia’s Lleyton Hewitt, Andre Agassi and Pete Sampras.

Rublev did enjoy impressive outings at the mega events in 2023. He played in the main draw of all four Grand Slams and managed to qualify in the quarterfinal or beyond in three of those events.

The Moscow-born also went on to win two ATP titles this year. His first title was the ATP Masters 1000 event in Monte-Carlo in April where he defeated Denmark’s Holger Rune in the final with a score of 5-7, 6-2, 7-5.

In July, Rublev won the Nordea Open organised in the city of Bastad, Sweden by defeating Norway’s Casper Ruud in the final in straight sets with a score of 7-6, 6-0.
