In addition to the competition records, Novak Djokovic is also impressive with the monetary prizes he manages to win even through a few matches.
In the list of the most incomes, exclusively from the matches, the Serb managed to make the most, although he played the fewest tournaments of all (12).
In particular, he earned almost $16 million (15.95m), mainly because he won three of the four grand slams (in the other one, he was a finalist) and the ATP Finals, which give huge prize money.
It is typical that from these five tournaments, Nole got 8,200 of the 11,245 points he has in total and the $9.8 million of the 15.95 he took.
Carlos Alcarath is in second place with $10.75 million, while Iga Sviontek is in third place with $9.86 million.
It should be emphasised that Stefanos Tsitsipas is also on the list of the 20 highest-paid tennis players, in 12th place (7th among men) with 4.85 million.
At the same time, it should be noted that the amounts do not include the bonuses that ATP gives to men, so the comparison with women is possible, whereas from 2020, the WTA cut the bonuses.
Eight women are in the top 20, with Haddad Maya coming in at number 20, in a mini-surprise of the names on the list.
