ATP Prize Money Leaders Update: Sinner closes the gap to Alcaraz after Paris Masters title, Zverev leapfrogs Djokovic as Bublik close in on top 10

The ATP Prize Money Leaders has been updated with Jannik Sinner creeping closer to Carlos Alcaraz after Paris Masters success but still remains a long way off the six-time Grand Slam champion.

A surprising second-round exit from Alcaraz in Paris opened the door for Sinner to close the gap. While Alcaraz was stuck with $16m, Sinner's $1.1m boosted his overall tally up to $14m. While it is a large gain, it only plugs a small gap in the difference between the pair.

There has been a change behind the big two, with Alexander Zverev's final appearance in Paris sees his climb above Novak Djokovic, who did not compete. The German gained $280,000 to jump above the Serbian into third, ending with $5.24m while Djokovic sits back with $5m. Quarter-final appearances from Alex de Minaur ($4.46m) and Ben Shelton ($4.26m) closes the gap to Taylor Fritz in fifth, who could only gain $40,000 from a disappointing tournament. However, he still looks down on the pair with $4.72m earnt.

The only other change in the top 10 comes with Felix Auger-Aliassime overtaking Lorenzo Musetti. The pair were battling it out for the final place in the ATP Finals, with a scintillating end to the season from the Canadian seeming to do the trick. His defeat in the final yielded him $550,000 and moved him up to $4.1m. On the other side of the coin, Musetti was defeated in his opening clash, only collecting $20,000, with him climaxing with $3.89m. The injured Jack Draper rounds off the top 10.

Outside the top 10, Alexander Bublik prolonged his eye-catching form after he reached the semi-final stages. He rose from 18th to 14th in the table, with a cool $2.90m accumuated. He overtook Daniil Medvedev, Karen Khachanov, Alejandro Davidovich Fokina and Jakub Mensik. Khachanov and Mensik both fell two places in the process, with Flavio Cobolli getting very close to the young Czech star. The $20,000 he earnt moves him up to $2.62m, with Mensik slightly ahead in 18th with $2.65m.

As we head further down, the likes of Francisco Cerundolo, Cameron Norrie and Brandon Nakashima all gain a solitary place, with Learner Tien and Lorenzo Sonego leapfrogging the injured Ugo Humbert, who was prevented from earning any of the money he won from last year's final.

It is more positive news for a brace of Frenchman, with Corentin Moutet and Alexander Muller both rising two positions after picking up a win a piece in their home event. It is not so good news for Miomir Kecmanovic, who drops out of the top 50 after equalling his second-round result last year.

Progression for many of the players is now limited on how they perform in the ATP 250 events in Metz and Athens this week. Aside from that, only the eight players who have qualified for the ATP Finals in Turin can claim the final sums of money in 2025.
