Jannik Sinner’s triumph at the 2024 Australian Open not only marked a historic moment in his career but also translated into a substantial financial gain, surpassing Novak Djokovic’s earnings from the previous year.
With his first Grand Slam title, Sinner secured a prize money of 3,150,000 Australian dollars, while the runner-up, Daniil Medvedev, earned 1,725,000 AUD. Sinner’s earnings reflected a significant increase of 5.88 percent compared to Djokovic’s winnings in 2023 when he lifted his 10th Australian Open title.
Australian Open organizers demonstrated their commitment to elevating prize money, implementing a 13.07 percent increase compared to the previous year’s tournament. The total prize money pool reached an impressive figure of 10 million AUD, with a particular focus on boosting rewards in the preliminary rounds.
“We’ve upped prize money for every round at the Australian Open with the major increases in qualifying and the early rounds of singles and doubles,” stated Australian Open tournament director Craig Tiley before the tournament began in January. “We want to ensure Australia remains the launchpad for the global tennis season, and the players and their teams have everything they need to help them perform at their best and continue to enjoy the Happy Slam.”
Sinner’s earnings not only reflect his on-court success but also highlight the tournament’s commitment to providing substantial financial rewards to players, ensuring a competitive and rewarding environment for participants at the Australian Open. As tennis enthusiasts celebrate Sinner’s victory, the financial aspect adds another layer of significance to the young Italian’s historic achievement on the court.
