TENNIS · 185 PLAYERS PAID

The 1995 tennis prize money list

$70,968,317 won on court in 1995, split between 185 players. Pete Sampras took $5,415,066 of it.

Every player the tour paid in 1995, ranked by what they won that season and nothing else. A career total rewards longevity; a season list rewards the year, which is why the two rankings almost never agree at the top. The season is up 4.7% on 1994, and is the 23th biggest of the 55 seasons we hold.

Ten players out of 185 took 39.5% of the season. A prize-money sport concentrates that way by construction: there is no wage and no appearance money on this list, so everything follows the rounds, and a player who reaches the second week of four majors has out-earned a year of quarter-finals everywhere else.

10 Wayne Ferreira South Africa $1,139,174 $1,276,216 +12.0%

A season list moves harder than a career list. Prize money is paid for results and nothing else, so a player who was hurt for half of 1994 can treble his money in a year without doing anything differently, and a player who slips two rounds at three majors loses a third of his.
