TENNIS · 282 PLAYERS PAID

The 2011 tennis prize money list

$106,234,583 won on court in 2011, split between 282 players. Novak Djokovic took $12,619,803 of it.

Every player the tour paid in 2011, 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 10.0% on 2010, and is the 16th biggest of the 55 seasons we hold.

Novak Djokovic $13m Rafael Nadal $7.7m Roger Federer $6.4m Andy Murray $5.2m Jo-Wilfried Tsonga $3.2m David Ferrer $3.1m Tomas Berdych $2.6m Mardy Fish $1.9m Janko Tipsarevic $1.7m Nicolas Almagro $1.6m Gilles Simon $1.3m Robin Soderling $1.3m Michael Llodra $1.2m Alexandr Dolgopolov $1.2m John Isner $1.2m Marin Cilic $1.1m Jurgen Melzer $1.1m Marcel Granollers $1.1m Gael Monfils $1.1m Andy Roddick $1.1m

Ten players out of 282 took 43.2% 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 Nicolas Almagro Spain $1,205,540 $1,571,009 +30.3%

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 2010 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.
