Carlos Alcaraz, Jannik Sinner’s Doha Fee Tops Winner’s Prize

Per Gazzetta, Doha organizers will pay Alcaraz and Sinner about $1.2M each in ATP-approved “promotional fees,” exceeding the $529,945 winner’s check and $285,095 runner-up prize this week. The rule lets ATP 500/250 events buy star appeal. A 2026 ranking tweak cuts counting events from 19 to 18 and reduces mandatory 500s from five to four for top-30 players.
