Alejandro Davidovich has won the most important title of his career and, in the process, secured a significant financial prize. The player from Málaga defeated Rafa Jódar in the final of the Shanghai Masters 1000, a comeback that allowed him to lift his first trophy in this category and enter the history of Spanish tennis. A victory that has sporting, historical, and also economic rewards.

The Shanghai champion takes home 1,151,380 dollars, approximately 1.02 million euros, for winning the Chinese tournament. This amount makes this week one of the most lucrative of his professional career and rewards his extraordinary journey through the draw. The Asian Masters 1000 had a total prize pool of 9,415,725 dollars in 2026, distributed among participants based on the round reached.

Over half a million euros for Jódar

Although Rafa Jódar could not complete his dream of lifting the title, the young player from Madrid also leaves Shanghai with a significant prize. As a finalist, he will receive 612,340 dollars, nearly 545,000 euros, a considerable reward for a player who was contesting the first Masters 1000 final of his career.

The economic difference between the two is notable: the title brings about an additional 539,040 dollars compared to the runner-up's prize. Davidovich thus takes around 480,000 euros more than his rival for winning the final match. However, money is only part of what the player from Málaga has achieved. Davidovich also gains the 1,000 ATP points reserved for the champion, allowing him to reach the best ranking of his career, the number 13 position in the world.

Moreover, Shanghai becomes his third title of 2026, following his victories in Mallorca and Chengdu. A season marked by physical difficulties that ends with the greatest success of his career. Davidovich has found in China something more than a million-dollar check: the confirmation that he can compete and win at the highest level.
