The clay-court specialist walked away with a cool $8,663,347 in prize money, demonstrating the huge gap in winnings between the top two ATP players in 2018.
Finally, Federer finished third (6,420), though the gap between he and Nadal was not as wide. The Swiss legend ended the year with a 48-10 record and four titles to his name. He collected his sixth Australian Open. Federer's total winnings were relatively close to Nadal, as he finished with $8,629,233.
