Prize Money
The total prize money for the 2023 Davis Cup reportedly exceeds $6.5 million (around £5.2 million). This is a significant leap from the tournament’s humble beginnings in 1900 when Dwight Davis, one of the founding players, personally funded the trophy.
The champions receive $2.1 million (£1.7 million), a sum surpassing the runner-up’s reward by over $500,000 (£397,000) and outpacing the teams eliminated in the group stage by nearly $1.5 million (£1.2 million).
While the potential earnings from the Davis Cup may pale in comparison to the singles competitions at grand slam tournaments, the tournament’s historical significance and the pride associated with representing one’s nation make it a coveted achievement for the participating stars.
Novak Djokovic, echoing the sentiments of many players, expressed gratitude for being part of the national team, emphasizing that the Davis Cup is one of his “greatest goals” of the season.
