Novak Djokovic triumphed for the sixth time on the Champions Tour (equaling Roger Federer’s record), and back-to-back victories in Turin gave the Serbian great champion a record honor for world tennis.
Novak Djokovic, the biggest check ever transferred to tennis
Nole finished the Pala Alpitour with five wins with as many, giving the Serb the biggest prize in tennis history.
According to ESPN, Joker went home with a check for $4,740,300, the largest check ever received by any tennis player.
The previous record was held by Ashley Barty (now retired): $4,420,000 at the 2019 Shenzhen Tournament of Champions.
After a brief period where prize money was reduced due to the Covid-19 pandemic, world tennis is once again on the upward trend in prize money, and Nole’s check in Turin is testament to that.
According to the ATP, Djokovic collected $9,934,582 in tennis-only prize money this season, and his career total is $164,691,308.
