Tennis' top 100 richest players as Jannik Sinner misses out on top 5

With the clay-court season set to begin at the Monte Carlo Masters this month, SPORTbible has taken a look at the 100 richest stars in tennis, with world No. 2 Jannik Sinner missing out on a spot in the top five earners list.

Despite becoming the first man to win the ‘Sunshine Double’ since Roger Federer in 2017—winning the Miami Open and Indian Wells without dropping a set—Italy’s Sinner remains the second-highest-ranked men’s singles player in the world, trailing world No. 1 Carlos Alcaraz by 1,190 points.

As well as achieving the historic feat in the US, Sinner also broke the $60m (£47m) career earnings barrier, pocketing $2.3m (£1.8m) for his efforts in Florida and California.

However, the 24-year-old remains behind the Spaniard in career earnings, while world No. 3 Alexander Zverev has earned more prize money despite failing to win a Grand Slam. The German has been defeated in three Grand Slam finals—the 2020 US Open, 2024 French Open and 2025 Australian Open.

As reported by Tennis X, Zverev has earned $61,319,289 (£47.8m) in his career, while Sinner has received slightly less at $61,199,211 (£47.7m).

Alcaraz is currently fifth on the all-time list, having earned $64,336,028 (£50.2m), while three-time Grand Slam winner—Wimbledon (x2) and US Open—Andy Murray is the fourth-highest-earning tennis player of all time, having received $64,336,028 (£50.2m).

As you may have expected, the so-called ‘Big Three’ make up the top three spots on the highest earners list.

Twenty-time Grand Slam winner Roger Federer is third, having pocketed $64,336,028 (£50.2m) across his lengthy and hugely successful career.

Twenty-two-time Grand Slam winner Rafael Nadal is second, having pocketed a hefty $134,946,100 (£105.3m).

Current world No. 4 and 24-time Grand Slam winner Novak Djokovic is the richest tennis player of all time, having earned $193,215,570 (£150.7m) in prize money.

Despite topping the list, Djokovic has been fairly outspoken about Grand Slam prize money, even calling for an increase last year.

After the United States Tennis Association announced a 20% increase in prize money for the 2025 US Open – with $90m (£67.4m) on the line – the Serbian said: "Obviously, it's always nice and positive to see that Grand Slams are willing to improve prize money across the board for players.

"Whether it's an ideal situation for us, overall I don't think so. I think there is still a lot more room for improvement in that sense."

The veteran then explained that he was discussing the matter because he wanted changes to benefit lower-ranked players rather than himself.

He added: "I see that in the past, when I talk about this topic, people like to say, 'well, look at him, wanting more money for himself'. It's not about that.

"I'm just talking about the overall situation. Not many tennis players make a living out of this sport globally. That's not something I feel has been talked about enough.

"It's also important to understand that we live in a very commercial world. The entertainment and sports business are very big.

"And for Grand Slams, they are doing very well. The US Open has increased prize money, and other slams are doing it too. But they also have higher revenue than the previous year.

"Then there is the inflation aspect, which is a completely different topic, but important to take into consideration when you talk about these things.

"Overall, it's definitely a positive step."
