World No. 1 Jannik Sinner added yet another trophy to his 2024 haul defeating Taylor Fritz 6-4,6-4 in the finals of the ATP Finals in Turin, Italy. He became the first Italian to achieve the feat in the history of tennis.
Sinner remained undefeated in the event that starts with a round-robin to determine the semifinalists. He won five straight matches in the tournament without dropping a single set- the first time this has happened since 1986.
His dominance meant a maximum payout of $4.88 million for Jannik Sinner, the highest ever for an ATP tournament. For context, Sinner earned $3.6 million for 2024 U.S. Open title, also over Fritz.
A record $15,250,000 prize pool was announced for the 2024 ATP Finals for the best eight singles and doubles players in Turin. Sinner’s pay check of $4,881,500 is the highest-ever payout at the year-end championships, beating Novak Djokovic’s prize money total of $4,740,300 from winning the 2022 edition.
In 2024- apart from achieving the number one spot in the ATP rankings- Sinner earned $17 million in prize money and eight official ATP events, including his first two Grand Slams—the U.S. Open and Australian Open. The earnings haul is the second highest for a single season after Novak Djokovic’s dominant 2015 that included 11 titles and $21.1 million in winnings.
The 23-year-old finished the season with a match record of 70 wins and only six losses, and his total career prize money of $33 million now ranks 10th all time.

Sinner also notched the biggest check of 2024 for an unofficial event at the Six Kings Slam exhibition tournament in Saudi Arabia. He won the competition among a half-dozen top men’s players and first prize of $6 million.
