Jannik Sinner could break $20 million prize money barrier at Indian Wells after unbeaten 2024 so far

Italy’s tennis star Jannik Sinner is inching closer to achieving yet another milestone. The 22-year-old is often regarded as one of the most highly-rated players currently playing in the men’s singles category alongside Spain’s Carlos Alcaraz.

Sinner has recently lived up to the hype as he won the first Grand Slam of the year in 2024 after beating the current world number three Russia’s Daniil Medvedev with a score of 3-6, 3-6, 6-4, 6-4, 6-3.
