ATP
Stefanos Tsitsipas joined
Daniil Medvedev and Alexander Zverev as the only tennis players under 28 to
reach a career prize money of $30 million. The Greek claimed his third
Monte-Carlo title on Sunday after beating Casper Ruud 6-1, 6-4 in the final.
The former world No. 3 earned
over €919,075 for the title, bringing his total career earnings on the court to
$30,360,563, making him the 12th tennis player with the most prize money in his
career. The 25-year-old remains behind his contemporaries Alexander Zverev, who
is sixth on the list with $40,711,549, and former world No. 1 Daniil Medvedev,
who is seventh with $40,463,620 throughout his career.
Novak Djokovic leads the list
with $181,955,458, far ahead of Rafael Nadal, second on the list with
$134,659,704. Others who have surpassed the $30 million mark include Roger
Federer, Andy Murray, Pete Sampras, Stan Wawrinka, David Ferrer, Marin Cilic,
and Andre Agassi.
Tsitsipas also surpassed
Dominic Thiem among those who reached the $30 million mark, as the 2020 US Open
champion has a total of $30,164,485 in prize money.
Stefanos Tsitsipas claims his fifth title in clay
Stefanos Tsitsipas commented on his third Monte-Carlo Masters title
The Greek secured his first
title of the 2024 season and the 11th of his career. His most significant
titles include the 2019 ATP Finals and the three titles in Monte-Carlo (2021,
2022, 2024). Tsitsipas has won at least one title in seven consecutive seasons
(2018-2024) and has also returned to the top 10 as the world No. 8.
Tsitsipas didn't come into the
tournament with a strong Tour record, having dropped out of the top 10 and with
a 2024 record of 11-6 before the start of the clay swing in Monaco, which was
below Tsitsipas's usual standards. The 2-times Grand Slam finalist expressed
his excitement after the title win.
“The third time is even more
special than the first or second time. This is an unbelievable win for me.
Capturing that win today was nerve-wracking. I really wanted this trinity. I am
extremely happy today,” Tsitsipas said.
There won't be any rest for
the Greek, as he will debut on Tuesday, April 16th, at the ATP 500 Barcelona
Open. Tsitsipas is the 5th seed in the main draw and will play against the
winner of the match between Pavel Kotov and Sebastian Ofner. Additionally, he
will participate in doubles alongside Robin Haase, and they will debut against
the pairing of Mate Pavic and Marcelo Arevalo.

- One step by another step -- WTA continues to 'lose the plot'. Too many hi-tech microphones being installed at most venues!!! Remove them (especially those along the hallways, sidewalks, and pathways throughout the venues. Not to mention (most of all) remove the mic's from the Players/Coaches Box.

- Don't you just love this young lady!? We fans often expect athletes to be supermen and superwomen, often forgetting that they WILL GET TIRED! I love Alex's perspective. Tiredness for an athlete should never be viewed as a negative, especially if you are healthy, taking care of your body and mental health and putting in the work. What a mature perspective. Good for you, Alex!Rapunzel05-11-2026
- Jess is absolutely correct! But the disrespect is a trait I have noticed in most of the Russian players. Mirra is good but very immature and lacks humility. Conceivable needs to get a handle on that!Rapunzel05-11-2026
- Having spent weeks and weeks through the years on tour, I can say with confidence that Conchita was (is) one of the very few who realize the surprising level of maturity (and sometimes lack of) which Mirra seems to have developed in such a demanding adult world of Pro-Tennis. While at the same time reminding herself (Conchita, that is) that Mirra is still young and developing mentally and physically. The general public may forget at times, or not at all realize, these modern era young athletes do not have a 'normal' Youth. It's a major sacrifice, among countless sacrifices, these athletes must make. People who blow-off that fact are ignorant and unfair when they blurt out, "They choose fame so they have to put up with the intrusions on their lives". No, they do not.mandoist05-11-2026
- Okay... someone with a camera was EAVESDROPPING on a private conversation. Shouldn't that be the point of discussion here? Regardless of the sensationalist crap by media, Pegula (and anyone) has a right to an opinion. There used to be an expectation that private conversations were respected, regardless of 'stardom' and whatever other defensive excuses media tries to shove in our faces. Boo-hoo if feelings are hurt. BTW: Having been employed at various tourney venues, etc., I can't tell you how nasty and offensive players can be when discussing their opponents and colleagues... in "private". Well, I could, but won't. I also challenge anyone to deny what Jessica said is false.mandoist05-11-2026
