TENNIS · 378 PLAYERS PAID

The 2016 tennis prize money list

$162,167,844 won on court in 2016, split between 378 players. Andy Murray took $16,349,702 of it.

Every player the tour paid in 2016, 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 7.8% on 2015, and is the 10th biggest of the 55 seasons we hold.

Andy Murray $16m Novak Djokovic $14m Stan Wawrinka $6.9m Milos Raonic $5.6m Kei Nishikori $4.8m Marin Cilic $3.5m Gael Monfils $3.4m Dominic Thiem $3.2m Rafael Nadal $2.8m Tomas Berdych $2.6m David Goffin $2.3m Jo-Wilfried Tsonga $2.3m Nicolas Mahut $2.0m Roberto Bautista Agut $1.9m Nick Kyrgios $1.8m Lucas Pouille $1.8m Jack Sock $1.7m Feliciano Lopez $1.7m Grigor Dimitrov $1.7m John Isner $1.6m

Ten players out of 378 took 39.0% 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 Tomas Berdych Czechia $3,755,085 $2,612,055 -30.4%

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 2015 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.
