Rafael Nadal surpasses Roger Federer in career prize money after 14th Roland Garros title

Rafael Nadal’s triumphant two weeks in Paris didn’t just earn him a record-extending 14th Roland Garros title or a record-extending 22nd Grand Slam title—it also added 2.2 million Euros, or approximately $2.34 million, to his ever-growing career prize money total.

And with that new chunk of change, Nadal not only surpasses $130 million in career prize money, he also moves past Roger Federer for second place on the all-time list.

He had $128,337,592 in career prize money going into Roland Garros.
