Jannik Sinner woke up as a Wimbledon champion on Monday as he ended his recent Carlos Alcaraz hoodoo in the final of the 2025 grass-court Grand Slam and with his win came a healthy amount of points and the biggest prize cheque at the majors.
Just weeks after losing an enthralling five-set marathon final against Alcaraz in the French Open final, Sinner exacted revenge as he defeated the two-time defending champion as he overcame a poor start to win 4-6, 6-4, 6-4, 6-4.
The 23-year-old also became the first Italian to win a singles title at Wimbledon as he took his Grand Slam tally to four following his two Australian Open crowns in 2024 and 2025 and his US Open title last September.
“It’s mostly emotional, because I had a very tough loss in Paris,” the world No 1 said after the match. “But at the end of the day, it doesn’t really matter how you win or how you lose at important tournaments, you just have to understand what you did wrong and try to work on that, and that’s exactly what we did.
“We tried to accept the loss and just kept working. This is for sure one of the reasons I am holding this trophy here.”
Sinner was assured of staying top of the ATP Rankings after Wimbledon, but he has cemented his place at No 1 with another big points haul at the All England Club.
ATP Points Earned At Wimbledon
A total of 2,000 points are on offer to Grand Slam champions, but of course players have to defend their points from the previous year so they don’t always go home with the full tally.
In Sinner’s case, he was defending 400 points from his quarter-final run in 2024 so he added “only” 1,600 points to his rankings tally as he moved to 12,030 points at the top.
As the defending champion, Alcaraz always had a tough job and he dropped 700 points as he was defending 2,000 from last year and only earned 1,300 for finishing runner-up.
Those who exit at the semi-final stage earn 800 points and Novak Djokovic and Taylor Fritz were the men who came up short. Djokovic was the losing finalist 12 months ago so he was -500 (800-1,300) while Fritz earned 400 points as he lost in the last eight in 2024.
Four hundred points are on offer in the quarter-final and Ben Shelton (+200), Flavio Cobolli (+350), Karen Khachanov (+350) and Cameron Norrie (+300) all had productive tournaments.

Grigor Dimitrov’s tournament came to an unfortunate end in the fourth round as he was two sets up against Sinner before a pectoral injury forced him to retire. The Bulgarian didn’t add any ranking points as he reached the same stage last year.
Ditto for Jack Draper who again lost in the round of 64 while Lorenzo Musetti and Daniil Medvedev are -790 as they reached the semi-final last year, but lost in the first round.
Great Britain’s Jack Pinnington Jones received a wildcard entry and reached the second round, adding 100 points to his total, resulting in a 91-place jump to No 190.
Qualifier Oliver Tarvet also reached the second round before losing against Alcaraz and he earned 80 points and a 331-place surge to No 402 in the rankings.
ATP Prize Money Earned At Wimbledon
Champion Sinner’s bank balance increased by £3,000,000 ($4,069,500) with the title run and his career earnings jumped to $45m, which puts him eighth on the all-time list while Alcaraz sits at No 6 with $47m after earning £1,520,000 ($2,061,880) at Wimbledon.
Djokovic and Fritz went home with £775,000 ($1,051,288), which is small change for the former as he leads the all-time list for prize money earnings with more than $188m.
