For the past few years, Alejandro Davidovich Fokina has held a singular place in tennis history. He’d made more in prize money—millions more—than any other man or woman who had never won a singles tournament.
On Saturday in Mallorca, the Spaniard put the “richest loser” moniker to bed. The 27-year-old beat American Ethan Quinn 7-6, 6-3 to win the Mallorca Championships. It’s his first singles title in almost 150 tournaments, and the roughly $106,000 prize (€93,175) will bring his career on-court earnings to more than $11.8 million.
For context on that number, there’s only one other tennis player in history who has won more than $10 million in prize money and hasn’t won multiple titles. Among active men’s tennis players, Fokina’s prize haul puts him between Alexander Bublik and Ugo Humbert. Bublik has nine career singles titles. Humbert has seven.
Fokina, of course, is extremely good at tennis. His peak singles ranking of No. 14 was achieved in 2025, and he entered Mallorca as the world No. 25. He’ll be seeded No. 22 at Wimbledon next week. He has a 4-4 career record versus Taylor Fritz (10 titles), a 3-4 record versus Alex de Minaur (11 titles), and a 3-4 record versus Casper Ruud (14 titles and three Grand Slam finals appearances). He has played in five tournament finals prior to Mallorca.
