Daniil Medvedev crosses $30 million mark in prize money earnings

Former world No. 1 Medvedev has had a strong start to the year. After his third-round defeat at the Australian Open against Sebastian Korda, the Russian found his best form and won three consecutive tournaments before the "sunshine double." In the United States, he reached the final of Indian Wells and won the title at the Miami Open, with a record of 29-3 in 2023, placing him at the top of the race to the ATP Finals.

His impressive start to the year has already earned him $3.4 million in just three and a half months, pushing his total prize money earnings past the $30 million mark. Only eleven players in history have achieved this milestone on the court, with seven of them still actively playing.

The top three spots are occupied by the "big-3," led by Novak Djokovic, Rafael Nadal, and Roger Federer, all with earnings surpassing $130 million. The list also includes retired players Pete Sampras, David Ferrer, and Andre Agassi. Other active players who are still ahead of Medvedev in terms of earnings are Andy Murray, Stan Wawrinka, Alexander Zverev, and Marin Cilic.

Medvedev is currently about $120,000 away from surpassing Agassi's earnings and could potentially achieve this milestone at the upcoming Madrid Open, if he reaches at least the quarter-finals of the tournament.
