De Miñaur wins the ATP 500 bonus pool in 2026 and takes home a fortune
Alex De Miñaur is celebrating for many reasons. Firstly, today he defeated Alexander Zverev to reach the final of the ATP Vienna, where he will face Carlos Alcaraz with the goal of lifting the title and putting one foot and a half in the ATP Finals in Turin. Moreover, today's victory has allowed the Australian tennis player to become first in the ATP 500 Bonus Pool for 2026, which will ensure him an additional $1,025,000 on top of his earnings for the year.

Tennis players have a financial incentive in tournaments of this category to encourage them to participate, and depending on the number of ATP 500 tournaments each player competes in and the results they achieve in those tournaments, they accumulate points. With his final in Vienna, De Miñaur is already mathematically number 1 with 1,610 points, so he has secured over a million dollars extra that will be added to his other earnings throughout the year.
Alcaraz finishes second after missing almost 5 months of the season
The most curious thing is that Carlos Alcaraz has also secured second place with his victory today against Daniil Medvedev, placing him with 1,380 points, which will allow him to earn an extra $512,500. This is because earlier this year he won the ATP 500 in Doha, and in recent weeks he has won in Tokyo and reached the final in Vienna.
Coincidentally, his wrist injury occurred in the fourth ATP 500 he played this season, that of Barcelona, which kept him out for that long. Nevertheless, his end of the year is impressive, as reflected in this list. The third has been Taylor Fritz, who will win $256,250, completing the podium of players who have shown the most consistency in tournaments of this category.
