ATP Prize Money Leaders Update - Alexander Zverev takes second spot as Jannik Sinner's lead under threat

Thursday, 18 June 2026 at 04:30

The ATP Prize Money Leaders have been updated after the latest round of action at Roland Garros and then further tournaments include Stuttgart to begin the grass court season.

Jannik Sinner leads the way heading towards Wimbledon where he will be favourite to lift the title. But unlike previous years, he or Alcaraz aren't way out in front as he sits on $6.85m compared to $6.38m for Zverev who of course offers a seismic total due to the fact that he won Roland Garros recently. Albeit of course not at that point in the ATP Rankings yet.

Carlos Alcaraz who won't play Wimbledon is in danger of even not being in the top three heading into the US Open as Flavio Cobolli is sat breathing down on his neck albeit over $1m still between them. Cobolli on $3.16m and Alcaraz on $4.36m. But as ever with this list, it offers a great guide as to who is on form as well as some surprises.

Medvedev, Shelton, Ruud headline top 10

Daniil Medvedev has shown good middling form at times this year but under no means has he been incredible. But his form outside the majors sees him 5th on $2.52m. While we get the Stuttgart winner, Ben Shelton behind Alex de Minaur in 7th.

De Minaur who himself had been struggling to register wins so banking those points can be a marathon not a sprint. Rounding out the top 10 are Felix Auger-Aliassime, Jakub Mensik and Casper Ruud.

Novak Djokovic after his loss against Fonseca at Roland Garros 2026

Arthur Fils is in 11th despite the fact he hasn't played for the vast majority of the year and again is a doubt for Wimbledon. He sits just ahead of Novak Djokovic who for a long time has mainly been at the majors only so again a bit of a surprise.
