The big day has finally arrived at the ATP Finals in Turin. In just a few hours, two potential title contenders, Jannik Sinner and Taylor Fritz, will take on each other in an anticipated final. On one side, there’s the World No.1, who’s been in a sensational form in the event and is coming after a one-sided win in the SF against Casper Ruud. On the other side, there’s the World No.5 Fritz, who’s picked up momentum at the right time and beat Alexander Zverev in the semis to secure his spot in his first final encounter of the ATP Finals. Well, who bags the title will be revealed soon, but what’s already known is the amount of cash prize for the ultimate winner.

Sinner entered the tournament with a bang earlier this week. He made his intentions very clear after registering a thumping win over Alex de Minaur. In the next two group stage encounters, he defeated Fritz and Daniil Medvedev. In the SF, the Fox then beat Ruud to make it into his second consecutive final after last year. Speaking of Taylor Fritz, he beat Medvedev in the first group stage. He lost the next one against Sinner, but the American made a strong return and defeated Minaur in the last one. In the SF round, he managed to overcome Zverev’s challenge.

By making into the final, both players have not only ensured a chance to lift the trophy but also take home huge prize money. A total of $15,250,000 prize pool is on offer in 2024 this time. It’s an increase of 1.65 percent from 2023 when the overall amount of prize pool was $15,000,000.

Just by entering the final, after registering victories in the semis, Sinner and Fritz have pocketed $1,123,400 each, per the Nitto ATP Finals official website. During the group stage, they received $396,500 for every round-robin match win – an increase of 1.65 percent from $390,000 last year. When it comes to the winner’s prize money, the ultimate champion will get $2,237,200. But here comes a massive twist.

Jannik Sinner could end the season with $10 million in just two events!

For those unaware, Sinner has already pocketed a massive amount of prize money last month. He beat arch rival Carlos Alcaraz in the final of the Six Kings Slam in Riyadh. This tournament comprised of the largest-ever cash prize for a winner in any tennis competition. After defeating Alcaraz 6-7 (5), 6-3, 6-3 in a thrilling encounter, the Fox received the attractive paycheck of $6 million!

If he wins on Sunday against Fritz, Jannik will win $4,881,500. $80,000 more than last year. In other words, it’s Sinner who’s got a chance to strike real gold, after playing just five overall matches in Turin. On the other hand, he played just three matches at the Six Kings Slam event and earned $6 million. He could therefore receive a total of $10,881,500, after playing just 8 matches, to wrap up his 2024 season. Isn’t it a big deal? Of course it is. But again, Sinner will have to win today’s big clash against to turn this possibility into a reality. It seems likely, given his smooth H2H track record against the American.

So far, Jannik Sinner and Fritz have faced each other four times. The Italian is currently leading the tally 3-1. Apart from their group stage encounter in Turin, their last match-up was during the final of the US Open in September. At the Flushing Meadows, the Fox emerged victorious as he won in straight sets with a scoreline of 6-3, 6-4, 7-5. Will he make a hat-trick against Fritz in 2024 with yet another win today?
