Jannik Sinner earns R$25.8 million and makes history with the biggest prize in tennis

Jannik Sinner defeated Carlos Alcaraz by 2 sets to 0 (7/6 and 7/5) in the final held this Sunday (16) in Turin, Italy. The Italian won his second ATP Finals championship and received US$4.881 million, equivalent to around R$25.8 million at the current price. The amount represents the largest prize ever paid to a single tennis player in the entire history of the sport.

The perfect campaign, with five wins and no defeats, guaranteed the maximum bonus provided for by the regulations. The amount combines participation fee, wins in the group stage, semi-final and title without losing sets.

Record prize structure

The total amount paid to Sinner follows the system implemented by the ATP for the Finals:

• US$325 thousand just for participation
• US$1.04 million for each group stage victory (three in total)
• US$1.28 million for the semi-final
• US$2.236 million for the title without defeat

This model rewards undefeated campaigns since 2021. Previously, the maximum possible was lower even for champions.

Evolution of prizes in the tournament

The ATP Finals will award US$15 million in total prizes in 2025. The undefeated champion takes almost a third of that amount.

In 2020, the last year in London, the maximum prize was US$2.87 million. The move to Turin and sponsorship from Nitto increased values by more than 70% in five years.

The Italian government has invested €78 million until 2030 to keep the event in the city.

Numbers from the final against Alcaraz

Sinner converted 80% of the points on the first serve. The Italian saved the three break points he faced.

Alcaraz made 28 unforced errors compared to the opponent’s 19. The Spaniard won 71% of his serve points, insufficient to overcome the Italian.

Italian’s season of conquests

Sinner finished 2025 with 11 titles, including two Grand Slams. The 24-year-old tennis player won 78 matches this year.

The second title at the Finals reinforces the leadership in the ATP rankings. The Italian has accumulated 11,910 points so far.

The ATP Finals brings together the eight best tennis players of the season. The 2025 edition took place at Pala Alpitour, with capacity for 16 thousand people.
