Carlos Alcaraz has the chance to win $5.17 million in just one week – but he can’t afford to lose a single match if he wants to get the full prize.
At the upcoming ATP Finals, seven-time Grand Slam winner Carlos Alcaraz is eyeing a huge prize pot of $5.17 million—but only if he goes undefeated in Turin. The Spanish star will have one less tough competitor this year, as last year’s champion, Jannik Sinner, had to withdraw due to injury.
To grab the Finals title and that big prize, Alcaraz will need to win five matches in a row in Turin, with his prize money growing with each win. Just showing up for the round-robin stage guarantees $338,000, and every match he wins there adds another $405,000. Winning all three group matches could earn him over $1.5 million.
From there, four players move on to the semi-finals, where a win is worth $1.2 million. The final match winner takes home a whopping $2.4 million. If Alcaraz wins every match, he’ll pocket a total of $5.17 million.
This amount is a bit higher than last year’s total, when Sinner set the record for the highest prize money won at the ATP Finals. Interestingly, Alcaraz actually handed Sinner his final loss during the 2025 event. Sinner won all five of his matches, becoming the richest champion in the tournament’s history.
On the women’s side, Elena Rybakina won more than that last year at the WTA Finals, but she won’t be competing in 2026 after a prize money drop and her withdrawal.
If Alcaraz manages to win Turin undefeated this year, his payday will still be a bit less than Rybakina’s 2025 winnings. Beyond the big prize money, winning would also mean bringing home his first ATP Finals trophy for Spain.
Alcaraz has done well in past editions: he reached the final in 2025, played in tough groups with players like Casper Ruud and Alexander Zverev in 2024, and lost to Novak Djokovic in the 2023 semi-finals. This year’s ATP Finals run from November 15 to 22, with competitors like Zverev, Shelton, Daniil Medvedev, Flavio Cobolli, Arthur Fils, Francis Tiafoe, and Rafael Jodar lining up against him.
Stan Wawrinka, a three-time Grand Slam champ, has named a rising star as a future rival to both Alcaraz and Sinner—but that player won’t be at the Finals this year.
The tournament draw happens on November 12, with the group stage kicking off on November 15. Semi-finals are set for November 21, and the final day is November 22.
The two top champions in the event’s history are Novak Djokovic, with seven titles, and Roger Federer, who has six. Surprisingly, Rafael Nadal, another Spanish legend with 22 Grand Slam wins, has never won the ATP Finals.
If Alcaraz conquers Turin, he’ll not only break his end-of-year curse but also take a big step toward matching Federer and Djokovic—not just in Grand Slams, but in ATP Finals titles too.
