In addition to the glory, Zverev also received $3.2 million for winning the Paris trophy. This amount saw him rise three places on the tennis earnings list, jumping from seventh to fourth.

Alexander Zverev, ahead of only Djokovic, Nadal and Federer

In this ATP hierarchy, he is surpassed only by Novak Djokovic (194.8), Rafael Nadal (134.9) and Roger Federer (130.5).

The Roland Garros winner beat Carlos Alcaraz (64.9), Jannik Sinner (64.8) and Andy Murray (64.6). Daniil Medvedev (51.8), Pete Sampras (43.2) and Stan Wawrinka (38.4) are also in the Top 10.
