Alexander Zverev has become the highest earner on the ATP Tour in 2026 after winning his second Grand Slam title at the US Open. Just three months after securing his first major at Roland Garros, Zverev defeated Dominic Thiem to claim the US Open title, six years after his previous final appearance. He has now reached total earnings of $14,517,375 this year, including $5.5 million garnered from the recent tournament.

Following Zverev, Jannik Sinner ranks second in earnings, having collected $11,577,761 despite not competing at the US Open due to a knee injury. Ben Shelton, who reached the final at Flushing Meadows, is now in third place with $6,369,098 in prize money. He has surpassed both Carlos Alcaraz and Roland Garros finalist Flavio Cobolli.
The current top five earners on the ATP Tour for 2026 are:
1. Alexander Zverev - $14,517,375
2. Jannik Sinner - $11,577,761
3. Ben Shelton - $6,369,098
4. Carlos Alcaraz - $5,145,354
5. Flavio Cobolli - $4,477,028
Alcaraz topped the 2025 earnings list after a successful season that included two Grand Slam titles. By the end of 2025, his earnings reached $21,354,778. However, his potential to reclaim the top spot this year seems hindered due to a four-month absence from the tour caused by a wrist injury.
