Cameron Norrie of Britain was the first surprise in the list of the highest-earning players as he struggled with form in the recent past. His total prize money earning this year is $2,003,224.

Another British player Dan Evans, who also struggled with poor form, earned $1,497,843 in prize money.

Italy’s Matteo Berrettini, who had to deal with fitness concerns throughout the year, managed to earn more than a million dollars in prize money this year.
