World No.1 Jannik Sinner has a chance to write tennis history as he prepares to face Taylor Fritz in the US Open final on Sunday. The Italian ace already bagged his first major win at the Australian Open this year and can double up on Grand Slam triumphs at Flushing Meadows.
However, he'll have to take out the home hero - the United States' first major finalist in 15 years - to do so. In just a few short years, Sinner has ascended from being a promising Next Gen prospect to a formidable contender for the biggest titles in tennis. And this rapid rise has resulted in some hefty paydays that have propelled him into the limelight.
Sinner's life is equally exciting off the court, with a fellow tennis star for a girlfriend and success in other sporting fields. The Daily Express has explored the New York favourite's wealth, personal life and potential gains in Manhattan. Massive net worth Sinner's meteoric rise in men's tennis has been swift, and his bank balance reflects it.
His total ATP winnings to date are approximately £18million ($24m) ahead of Sunday's showdown, although his actual net worth is believed to be closer to £12m ($16m). Away from the tennis court, Sinner has lucrative endorsement deals with some of the biggest brands in the industry, including Nike, Head and Rolex. It should come as no shock he's also a favourite with Italian companies like Gucci, Lavazza and Alfa Romeo.
It was two years ago now that Sinner struck gold with a 10-year deal under Nike's banner. Signed in 2022, the contract is reportedly worth a whopping £124m and ensures an annual eight-figure sum lands in his bank account. New girlfriend Anna Kalinskaya The Italian ace's love life has also been making headlines in recent years; after parting ways with model Maria Braccini earlier this year, Sinner is now romantically linked with fellow tennis pro Anna Kalinskaya.
The Russian player previously dated Aussie tennis bad boy Nick Kyrgios , hinting she might have a penchant for men with flair on the court. Despite the buzz, Sinner prefers to keep his personal affairs under wraps, rarely sharing details about his relationships. However, he did let slip his thoughts earlier this year, commenting: "I think it's a beautiful thing when you find the right love.
Like for everyone. And then, if you think about it, the best tennis players in the world all have wives and children." Second sporting success Before ruling the tennis courts, Sinner was a skiing prodigy and clinched a national junior slalom title at just eight years old.
But at 13, he swapped the ski slopes and football pitches for the tennis court, much to the delight of tennis enthusiasts. US Open potential winnings A win against American Fritz will mark the most significant victory of Sinner's career so far, not only in terms of prestige but also in monetary value. The US Open champion will pocket a whopping £2.
7m ($3.6m), with the runner-up receiving roughly half that amount. This prize money significantly surpasses the £1.
8m he bagged for his Australian Open victory earlier this year. The European star arrived in New York as the second-highest earner on the ATP Tour this year, but if all goes well, he should conclude 2024 as the top earner.
