After determining the bonus pool recipients, the total 2024 prize money for ATP stars has been finalised. Jannik Sinner tops the ranking, approaching $20 million, while Alexander Zverev ($11.5 million) and Carlos Alcaraz ($10.3 million) complete the podium.
The prize money ranking doesn’t necessarily align with the ATP rankings. Bonus pools were created to improve player earnings, promote equity, reward strong performances in Masters 1000 and ATP 500 tournaments, and recognise those who adhered to the minimum tournament participation requirements.
How bonus pools reshaped ATP earnings
One player who benefited from a strong finish to the season was Arthur Fils. He secured a bonus as the top performer in ATP 500 tournaments (with two titles), earning a significant portion of the pool. He received $615,000 in bonus money on top of the $2.4 million he had already won in direct prizes.
Another interesting example is Nicolas Jarry, who finished the year in the world No. 35, but was 16th in the bonus pool distribution, playing in his favor his great performance in Masters 1000 (reaching the final in Rome Open), which meant a prize of $359,000 dollars; a considerable increase of the $1.8 million that he had gotten so far (totaling almost $2.2 million).
Novak Djokovic was not among the top bonus pool beneficiaries, primarily due to the limited number of events he played: just nine tournaments (the four Grand Slams, four Masters 1000, and one ATP 250). Djokovic finished 8th with $4.4 million in earnings.
Andrey Rublev, however, ranked just above Djokovic despite earning “only” $4.1 million in direct prizes. Rublev was boosted by $1.4 million from the bonus pool, surpassing Djokovic to reach nearly $5.6 million.
This year, 10 players surpassed $4 million in on-court earnings, 17 earned more than $3 million, and 28 exceeded $2 million annually, including the bonus pool. Below, find the top 30 prize money leaders and the top 30 players who earned the most from the bonus pool.
Now that bonus pools have been distributed we have the final prize money standings for the 2024 season on the men’s tour. pic.twitter.com/bP9OEoV8X5

- Wtf? Why is there no reason? And what about the men's?Bel08-11-2026
- One step by another step -- WTA continues to 'lose the plot'. Too many hi-tech microphones being installed at most venues!!! Remove them (especially those along the hallways, sidewalks, and pathways throughout the venues. Not to mention (most of all) remove the mic's from the Players/Coaches Box.
mandoist06-11-2026 - Enough of her bullshit. Go marry someone.mandoist06-11-2026
- Don't you just love this young lady!? We fans often expect athletes to be supermen and superwomen, often forgetting that they WILL GET TIRED! I love Alex's perspective. Tiredness for an athlete should never be viewed as a negative, especially if you are healthy, taking care of your body and mental health and putting in the work. What a mature perspective. Good for you, Alex!Rapunzel05-11-2026
- Jess is absolutely correct! But the disrespect is a trait I have noticed in most of the Russian players. Mirra is good but very immature and lacks humility. Conceivable needs to get a handle on that!Rapunzel05-11-2026
- Having spent weeks and weeks through the years on tour, I can say with confidence that Conchita was (is) one of the very few who realize the surprising level of maturity (and sometimes lack of) which Mirra seems to have developed in such a demanding adult world of Pro-Tennis. While at the same time reminding herself (Conchita, that is) that Mirra is still young and developing mentally and physically. The general public may forget at times, or not at all realize, these modern era young athletes do not have a 'normal' Youth. It's a major sacrifice, among countless sacrifices, these athletes must make. People who blow-off that fact are ignorant and unfair when they blurt out, "They choose fame so they have to put up with the intrusions on their lives". No, they do not.mandoist05-11-2026
- Okay... someone with a camera was EAVESDROPPING on a private conversation. Shouldn't that be the point of discussion here? Regardless of the sensationalist crap by media, Pegula (and anyone) has a right to an opinion. There used to be an expectation that private conversations were respected, regardless of 'stardom' and whatever other defensive excuses media tries to shove in our faces. Boo-hoo if feelings are hurt. BTW: Having been employed at various tourney venues, etc., I can't tell you how nasty and offensive players can be when discussing their opponents and colleagues... in "private". Well, I could, but won't. I also challenge anyone to deny what Jessica said is false.mandoist05-11-2026

- Osaka's mental state apparently does not allow her to reach any more Quarter Finals? I mean, she doesn't really have the time for tennis with all the pre-planning that must go into her 12 year-old "fashion" goals.mandoist29-10-2026
