TENNIS · 293 PLAYERS PAID

The 2012 tennis prize money list

$108,541,903 won on court in 2012, split between 293 players. Novak Djokovic took $12,803,739 of it.

Every player the tour paid in 2012, 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 2.2% on 2011, and is the 15th biggest of the 55 seasons we hold.

Novak Djokovic $13m Roger Federer $8.6m Andy Murray $5.7m Rafael Nadal $5.0m David Ferrer $4.4m Juan Martin del Potro $3.0m Tomas Berdych $3.0m Jo-Wilfried Tsonga $2.4m Janko Tipsarevic $2.1m Richard Gasquet $1.6m Nicolas Almagro $1.4m Juan Monaco $1.4m John Isner $1.4m Radek Stepanek $1.3m Milos Raonic $1.2m Marin Cilic $1.2m Alexandr Dolgopolov $1.2m Gilles Simon $1.1m Marcel Granollers $1.1m Philipp Kohlschreiber $1.1m

Ten players out of 293 took 44.8% 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 Richard Gasquet France $903,176 $1,632,679 +80.8%

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 2011 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.
