The Serb's rain-interrupted victory on Wednesday gained him $US328,000 and took him past the $100 million mark in prize money.  This is the most that any player has ever made purely from prize money.

Swiss Roger Federer, with a career haul of $US98,011,727, is second on the list.
 

Djokovic celebrated by fooling around with a ball boy and on-court interviewer Fabrice Santoro, the former French pro.
