Carlos Alcaraz won his 26th title at the Qatar Open after winning the final in emphatic fashion.

Alcaraz beat the resurgent Arthur Fils, 6-2 6-1, in just 50 minutes in the championship match in Doha.

This has continued the Spaniard’s unbeaten start to the season, backing up Alcaraz’s victory at the Australian Open.

Not only has Alcaraz won another title to add to his collection, but he has also received a generous amount of prize money on court.

Carlos Alcaraz’s prize money earned in 50-minute Qatar Open final win

After reaching the final of the Qatar Open, Alcaraz had already confirmed that he had earned $ 285,095 in prize money for his time in Doha.

Following Alcaraz’s straight sets final victory over Fils, he has added another $ 244,850 to this for a final prize pot of $ 529,945.

This means that for every minute Alcaraz spent on court for the Qatar Open final he earned $ 4,897.

Not only has Alcaraz pocketed $ 529,945 in prize money in Doha this week, but it is also reported that both he and Jannik Sinner were paid $ 1.2million to appear at the event.

However, unlike Alcaraz, Sinner was beaten by Jakub Mensik and therefore did not reach the final, pocketing just $ 77,625 in prize money.

Where does Carlos Alcaraz’s career prize money rank in ATP history?

At just 22 years old, Alcaraz has already earned the fifth highest amount of prize money in ATP Tour history.

Alcaraz’s position in this list has not changed after his Qatar Open win, but he has now closed the gap on fourth placed Andy Murray, who he is now $ 1,353,766 behind.

The world number one has a lot further to go until he reaches third place, which is occupied by Roger Federer on $ 130,593,339, while Rafael Nadal is second on $ 134,946,100.

Novak Djokovic leads this list with a total prize pot of $ 192,688,360, which he continues to grow at 38 years old.

Alcaraz will now have a week to enjoy both his trophy and earnings from the Qatar Open, before he heads to the USA for Indian Wells and the Miami Open.

If he is successful during the sunshine double then Alcaraz could already be able to surpass Murray as the fourth highest prize money earner in ATP history.
