Carlos Alcaraz passes Andy Murray for fifth-most career prize money in tennis history
He now only trails four of the biggest legends of the sport—the Big 3 and Serena Williams—on the all-time list.
Carlos Alcaraz may not have come away with the title in Monte Carlo this year, but there are a lot of silver linings—he not only reached the milestone 10th Masters 1000 final of his career, but also the 20th "big" final of his career, another milestone.
Not too bad for just 22 years old.
And there’s another silver lining—or gold, maybe.
Alcaraz’s runner-up cheque from Monte Carlo bumps his career prize money total from $64,336,028 to $64,948,871, surpassing Andy Murray’s $64,687,542 for the fifth-highest career prize money total in tennis history. That’s ATP and WTA combined.
Alcaraz now only trails four of the biggest legends of the sport on the all-time list—the Big 3 of Novak Djokovic, Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer, as well as WTA legend Serena Williams.
And the man who defeated Alcaraz in the final of Monte Carlo, Jannik Sinner, moves up from No. 8 to No. 7 on the list, passing the man he beat in the semifinals last week, Alexander Zverev.
