 Welcome back to Tennis Talk, my name's Cam Williams and with the season officially over We have to go through the prize money for the year because we have some names that played a lot of tennis We have some names that didn't play that much tennis that are actually on this list Let's go through the top five of the prize money winners for this year So Casperud comes in at number five at six point nine million dollars Of course made two Grand Slam finals at the French Open and at the US Open He also made the Miami Final during the year won a couple of titles as well And of course the A to B finals final as well So he's number five on the list coming in at number four is Rafa Nadal at seven point four million dollars Which is kind of low I think because he did win two Grand Slams Of course he won he's drawn an open French Open to start the year and he also made the semi-final as a Wimbledon But because he didn't play that much since Wimbledon He didn't make up that much prize money towards the end of the year Especially at tournaments before the US Open and also after the US Open where he didn't really play so still Seven point four million in prize money, but maybe a little bit less than we expect coming in number three was Carlos Elcaraz The world number one of course won the US Open He comes in at seven point six million dollars just ahead of Rafa and had a phenomenal season I mean he won a bunch of titles as well including Miami Madrid as well And unfortunately couldn't play at the A to B finals But that US Open victory got him a big chunk of cash and he's third on the list for 2022 coming in at number two Now is Egas Fiontek at nine point eight million dollars Of course she had a ridiculous season a record breaking season going on a massive winning streak winning a couple of Grand Slams as well At the French Open and the US Open also made the semi-final of the Australian Open Which I think a lot of people forget at the start of the year won a bunch of titles as well throughout the year And interestingly enough is the only female on this list and was just beaten by the number one person on this list So let's talk about the number one on this list. I think it's no surprise It's Novak Djokovic coming in at nine point nine million dollars only about fifty thousand dollars ahead of Fiontek and of course no late finish the season off for the bang He won he won three of the four tournaments that he played he lost in the Paris final Of course one Wimbledon as well, which is a big payday also one Rome on the clay as well So he just beat Ash Fiontek was a shame because Fiontek would have been the first female in 20 years to top the prize money list Had she had just got an extra fifty thousand or maybe had Djokovic Not one at the 8 to be finals. So there it is the prize money list for 2022 Are you surprised with anybody on this list? Are you surprised that Djokovic is number one? I'm a little shocked that Djokovic is maybe number one considering he didn't play that much but then again every time he played He did win so it does make sense I guess in the end But let me know down in the comments below. Are you surprised that someone's not on this list? Maybe you think that maybe onto duber should be on this list for the ladies Maybe a head of Casparude because she also made a couple of Grand Slam finals Or do you think someone like a Nick Kirios who barely played but when he did play he also got to the later part of tournaments You think he should be on this list somewhere or maybe even a doubles player because we don't have any doubles players on this list So there's the top five prize money winners for the year. Let me know if you're surprised by anybody
