How much money have Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner lost by missing important calendar events? The world number one and number two have been financially impacted at the end of the 2025 season, suffering a significant reduction in the bonus pool, that extra money for attending various events.
What is the ATP bonus pool?
As of 2023, driven by OneVision, a large cash prize is distributed to the top players of the year, taking into account both the Masters 1000 tournaments and the ATP Finals. In 2025, the 30 players who score the most points in these tournaments will receive that extra, totaling 21 million dollars.
Sinner and Alcaraz, penalized
The cases of Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz are very different, although both the Italian and the Spanish are affected by a significant reduction in this type of financial bonus based on their tennis performance over the 12 competition months.
In the case of Carlos Alcaraz, the Spaniard will receive 2.4 million dollars. The world number one was entitled to 4.8 million, but the amount is reduced by 25% for each tournament missed. This season, Alcaraz did not play in Canada or Shanghai, so he only retains half. It is true that the Spaniard did not compete in the Mutua Madrid Open, but he was in the city for events and different commitments, which prevents the penalty from affecting him.
For Jannik Sinner, the Italian player skipped Indian Wells, Miami, Madrid, and Canada, so the recent champion in the 2025 ATP Finals will not receive anything from that bonus pool. The ATP deducts 25% as a penalty from that extra prize, gradually reaching four, beyond which players receive nothing.
There is also a bonus pool for the ATP 500 part, a table once again led by Carlos Alcaraz, who this time is ahead of Alex De Miñaur, Alexander Zverev, Alejandro Davidovich Fokina , and Jannik Sinner who closes the list. The prize to be distributed in this aspect is 3 million dollars, an amount that also depends on participation.
