Carlos Alcaraz is no longer world No. 1. But he still achieved another milestone.

Alcaraz earned about $622,500 for his runner-up finish Sunday at the Monte-Carlo Masters, pushing him ahead of Andy Murray for No. 4 on the all-time career earnings list. The Spaniard is up to $64.9 million, about $250,000 more than the retired Murray. 

Novak Djokovic, Rafael Nadal, and Roger Federer, known as tennis’s Big Three, are the only players ahead of Alcaraz on the list. 

The seven-time Grand Slam champion is on a faster pace than his predecessors given the consistent prize money increases across all tournaments and the ATP Tour’s profit-sharing system introduced in 2022. 

But Alcaraz still has to double his current earnings total just to come close to third-place Federer ($130.6 million), and more than triple his total to pass No. 1 Djokovic ($193.2 million), who is still active and creeping closer to $200 million.

Alcaraz has struggled since achieving the career Grand Slam at the 2026 Australian Open, at least relative to his championship standards. He lost in the semifinals at the BNP Paribas Open, then was upset in the third round at the Miami Open by Sebastian Korda before losing to new No. 1 Jannik Sinner in Sunday’s final.

Sinner won about $1.1 million at the Monte-Carlos Masters. Like Alcaraz, he moved up one spot in the career earnings rankings to No. 6 with $62.3 million, right behind Murray.
