Novak Djokovic leads prize money won in 2023...despite playing only 12 tournaments this year, lowest of any top 10 player
ATPTuesday, 21 November 2023 at 14:30
Novak Djokovic's picking and choosing during this season in terms of tournaments has paid off as he has won nearly all tournaments he has entered into and as a result becomes the highest prize money earner in 2023 despite only playing 12 tournaments.
In both singles and doubles, Djokovic earned $15,952,044 despite playing the fewest tournaments of any player inside the top 10. He earned more than Carlos Alcaraz and Daniil Medvedev who in the end played often when Djokovic decided to take time away like in Asia.
As well as outperforming WTA World No.1, Iga Swiatek despite her dominance. Alcaraz is the only other player to reach eight figures this season, but Djokovic's seven titles including becoming the first player to win three out of four Grand Slams in a season on four occasions held the key.
As well as winning the second largest paycheck in tennis history at the ATP Finals by sealing a record-breaking 7th title in the end. A 55-6 record this season for Djokovic including 19 matches in a row between Wimbledon and the ATP Finals and also becoming the first player to earn over $180m.
Djokovic has been breaking records left right and centre even more so in the twilight of his career and continues to do so in 2023 as he enters another season hoping to repeat the feat but also add the elusive gold medal piece he is missing and the Calendar Grand Slam.

- Iga needs to make a decision whether she wants to continue the sport of tennis or pursue whatever she has going on in her personal life. One can tell that tennis is no longer an interest of hers. She should retire while she is on top, not when she slides to the bottom of the rankings. She has too much talent to look how she does on the court these days. She looks more like a wild card than a champion.crissy09-09-2026
- Looks like tennis has become a part of the American Oligarchy. As usual, Pegula is given a cupcake draw. With all her money, they have to fixed the draws in her favor in order to raised the trophy.crissy09-09-2026
- Huge win for Ben! He needed this. Amazing that Alcaraz took over four months off and still was able to make the QF’s and take Ben to a fifth set tie break! Insane tennis.

mandoist08-09-2026 - Don't lay this shitshow on "Americans". It is a long-running Ego trip with WTA allowing these two Elitists 'in need of a Camera' illicit Wildcards. If these two clowns want to "perform" -- then play the qualies.mandoist08-09-2026

- One of the most amazing comebacks in a long, long time. It happens (and Keys shouldn't lose her crackers over this). If Madison starts playing Dress-up and walking out on court like some fantasy character with a Mental Problem... then she should really start worrying!mandoist06-09-2026
