Sinner wins Monte Carlo final
When Jannik Sinner defeated Carlos Alcaraz to lift the 2026 Monte Carlo Masters title last Sunday, it came with a significant financial reward.
The Italian professional tennis player reportedly earned €974,370 (just over $1 million, that is, about 1.4 billion Naira) for winning the prestigious title.
The figure represents the largest single payout from the tournament’s prize pool, which totals over €6.3 million for all participants, with runner-up Alcaraz taking home €532,120, roughly half of what Sinner earned.
Beyond the trophy, the payday highlights just how lucrative ATP Masters 1000 events have become.
For Sinner, who is now number one in the world, this win also added to an already impressive 2026 season earnings tally, pushing him further ahead as one of the top earners on tour this year.
Interestingly, because the tournament is held in Monaco—where there is no personal income tax—Sinner is likely to keep the full prize amount, making the victory even more rewarding financially.
