Jannik Sinner’s remarkable 2024 season has been nothing short of historic, as the 22-year-old Italian has achieved unprecedented success, winning two Grand Slam titles, three ATP Masters 1000 tournaments, and a total of seven championships. These victories have catapulted him to become the first Italian to reach the ATP World No. 1 ranking, a position he’s likely to hold until the start of the next season. This year, Sinner’s achievements have also come with record-breaking financial rewards, most notably his recent $6 million prize from The Six Kings Slam exhibition tournament in Riyadh.
Sinner has already amassed an impressive $17 million in prize money for the year, edging him close to the long-standing record set by Novak Djokovic, who earned $18 million in a single season in 2017. With two major tournaments left to play—the ATP Masters 1000 in Paris-Bercy and the ATP Finals in Turin—Sinner has a realistic shot at surpassing Djokovic’s record. Winning the Paris tournament could add nearly $1 million to his earnings, while a flawless run at the ATP Finals in Turin could bring him an additional $4.4 million, potentially securing him the highest single-season prize money in tennis history.
Sinner’s rapid rise over the past year has been inspiring, elevating him from a Top-10 contender to the dominant World No. 1. His exceptional performances on the court have demonstrated both his skill and determination, suggesting he’s only just begun to unlock his full potential. As the season nears its close, Sinner’s sights are set on further solidifying his place in tennis history by breaking one of Djokovic’s most remarkable records, adding another chapter to his sensational 2024 journey.
