BENGALURU (Reuters) -Men's tennis players will pocket a record $18.3 million in profit-sharing bonuses from the 2024 season, the ATP said on Thursday, as the tour stepped up its efforts to forge a more sustainable and financially aligned future for the sport.

The bonus amount, a 177% increase on the previous season's payout, will be distributed to players based on performance at the nine ATP 1000 tournaments, which rank just below the four Grand Slams in prestige.
