Italy’s sports newspaper La Gazzetta dello Sport has us covered. They state that Sinner has won a total of $19.1 million this year, more than what he did in 2024, the year he came to spotlight. Last year he has won $16.9 million.
Sinner has won five tournaments this year, including at Turin where he took home $5,071,000 prize money.
Gazetta writes: “As with all ATP tournament prizes, he will be required to pay taxes in the host country: in Italy, the withholding tax is 30%.” Death, taxes, and all that jazz.
Despite having played only 12 tournaments this year due to the three-month suspension for the Clostebol doping case, Sinner has surpassed the prize money he earned last year. He has benefited from the increase in prize money guaranteed by the FITP.

La Gazetta waxed eloquent about their home boy’s achievements: “This year, his ability to reach the finals of all the major events has made the difference: only in Shanghai, due to cramps, did he withdraw early.”
Last year, he has won eight titles that included two Grand Slam triumphs. This year he has won six titles with two Grand Slams. But he has also made it to two Masters 1000 finals and two other Grand Slam finals.

“I don’t play for money. It’s very simple. Of course, it’s a nice prize and everything. I went there because there were possibly the six best players in the world, and then you can measure yourself with them. Of course, when you come back as a winner for me, it was more like okay, I played the matches in the right way, and this hopefully can improve me as a player also for the future.”
