Novak Djokovic loses top earner spot to Carlos Alcaraz after ATP awards bonus to players

Novak Djokovic won't finish as the top earner in 2022 after all as Carlos Alcaraz received a sizeable bonus from the ATP.
The bonus prize money is awarded each year at the end of it and is mainly determined by how many ATP events like Masters players play and how well they do. Alcaraz won two of them (Miami, Madrid) which earned him quite a bit of bonus money compared to Djokovic who missed a lot of them.
The bonus money is enough for the Spaniard to overtake the Serbian in total prize money and give him over 10 million for the year. By doing that, Alcaraz became only the 5th player ever to win over 10 million in prize money.
Before him we saw Federer, Djokovic, Nadal and Murray do that but prize money is slowly increasing so more players are going to follow suit in the future. Alcaraz now has 10.1 million earned compared to Djokovic who has 9.9 million earned.

- Players need to STOP TRYING TO JUSTIFY THEIR INCLUSION! They are not ambassadors for women in Saudi Arabia, they are not politicians, and they will never make a difference for females in that 'culture'. This little tennis "tournament" changes nothing. Players were lured by the money, opted to participate, and should just keep their predictable excuses and Women's Freedom Fairy Tales to themselves. Period. Like most things in Life -- one cannot make an argument relating to the Saudi Regime and, at the same time, triple your bank account with their "gifts".
