Sinner was less than just two million dollars off the highest-earning season in tennis history.

Also, having earned $10,102,330 in 2022 and $15,196,504 in 2023, Alcaraz has now earned $10 million or more for three straight seasons, just the second man in ATP history to do so.

Djokovic is the only other man to achieve the feat, actually doing it for six consecutive years from 2011 to 2016.
