Jannik Sinner surpasses 20 million dollars in career prize money after winning Miami Open

As if Jannik Sinner didn’t achieve enough at the Miami Open—first Italian player ever to win the Masters 1000 event and first Italian to reach the Top 2 in ATP or WTA rankings history, just to name a few things—he also just hit a major prize money milestone.

He surpasses $20 million—and $21 million—in career prize money.

The 22-year-old went into Miami with $19,921,773 in career prize money. He would have passed $20 million just by reaching the round of 16, but he obliterated that and went all the way to the title, and with the $1.1-million winner’s cheque he’s now at $21,021,773.

He’s the first Italian tennis player to surpass $20 million in career prize money in either ATP or WTA history, since 1973 and 1975.
