Djokovic breaks own earnings record as he passes $160 million

Novak Djokovic broke his own earnings record once more by passing 160 million in total prize money.

Djokovic broke the record twice already as he became the first player to ever earn 140 million in total prize money which was a record at the time. He broke it for the second time when he made it past 150 million and then now for a 3rd time when his total became over 160 million.

The win over Tsitsipas guaranteed him to push over 160 million but he could earn even more if he goes all the way. Having defeated Medvedev earlier today, he won the group stage with three wins. That opens the chance to earn the full possible prize money which would push him well past 160 million.
