The two semi-final winners will earn $1,123,400 each while the overall winner will get $2,237,200.Thus, a player ($331,000 participation fee) who wins all three round-robin matches ($1,189,500), the semi-final ($1,123,400) and the final ($2,237,200) will earn $4,881,100.Full breakdownAlternate – $155,000Participation fee – $331,000 (three round-robin matches)Round-robin win – $396,500Semi-final win – $1,123,400Final win – $2,237,200ATP NewsNovak Djokovic is the defending ATP Finals champion, but he lost one match during the group phase last year and walked away with a $4,4m cheque – just below the $4,74m he earned when he won the tournament undefeated in 2022.The 24-time Grand Slam winner, though, is yet to book his spot in this year’s tournament in Turin with only Jannik Sinner, Carlos Alcaraz and Alexander Zverev so far assured of their places.Daniil Medvedev (4,820), Taylor Fritz (4,290), Djokovic (3,910), Casper Ruud (3,855) and Andrey Rublev (3,630) currently occupy the final eight spots.Alex de Minaur (3,355), Grigor Dimitrov (3,035), Tommy Paul (2,985) and Stefanos Tsitsipas (2,885) are also still in the running and there will be plenty of points up for grabs at the upcoming ATP 1000 Paris Masters.</div></body>
