TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - In tennis, athletes are handsomely rewarded for their skill, with prize money from tournaments making up a major part of their income. Leading the way in 2025 is Novak Djokovic, who firmly holds the title of the richest tennis player with career earnings totaling over £138 million.
But he is not the only one who has amassed a fortune. Here’s a look at the richest tennis players, according to a report by GiveMeSport.
10 Richest Tennis Players Right Now (2025)
1. Novak Djokovic - £138,750,048
Unquestionably taking the top spot, Novak Djokovic is the richest tennis player in 2025. His two-decade dominance is undeniable, marked by 24 Grand Slam singles titles and a record 428 cumulative weeks as world No. 1. His relentless consistency is further highlighted by his victories at every Masters 1000 event and the ATP Finals at least twice. Remarkably, his career earnings are already more than triple those of the next player on the list.
2. Alexander Zverev - £39,520,299
German star Alexander Zverev boasts 23 ATP titles and has held the world No. 2 ranking. His unquestionable résumé is, however, missing a Grand Slam title, largely due to injury setbacks at crucial moments. Still, Zverev has claimed six Masters 1000 titles and made history as the first German male player to win an Olympic tennis gold medal at Tokyo 2020.
3. Carlos Alcaraz - £33,036,786
Among the new generation making its mark, Carlos Alcaraz has firmly established himself as one of the richest tennis players in 2025. Still in his early 20s, he holds the distinction of being the youngest man to win Grand Slam titles on all three surfaces, as well as the youngest to reach the No. 1 spot in the ATP rankings. Given his current trajectory, the Spaniard seems destined for an even brighter future.
4. Jannik Sinner - £30,662,786
Another standout in his early 20s is Italy's Jannik Sinner. Despite not starting in the elite ranks of the junior circuit, Sinner has rapidly become one of the sport’s most talked-about figures, particularly since joining the ATP Tour in 2018. His early career was steadily impressive, but it was his back-to-back Australian Open titles in 2024 and 2025 that truly cemented his place in tennis history.
5. Stan Wawrinka - £27,770,914
Renowned for his powerful one-handed backhand, Stan Wawrinka has long been a distinguished figure in the tennis world. He not only defeated members of the "Big Three" at the Grand Slam level but is also widely regarded as one of the few players who could genuinely challenge their dominance. Wawrinka's crowning achievement remains the 2015 French Open, a highlight among his 578 career wins.
6. Stefanos Tsitsipas - £25,660,334
The Greek star Stefanos Tsitsipas has been a constant presence in the top 10 since his breakthrough in 2018. Known for his elegant yet deadly one-handed backhand, Tsitsipas reached the French Open final twice, the Australian Open final once, and has 12 ATP titles under his belt. Though a Grand Slam title still eludes him, his career earnings and high-profile performances have secured him a place among the richest tennis players in 2025.
7. Marin Cilic - £23,511,520
A veteran of the game, Marin Cilic’s career is highlighted by his 2014 US Open triumph. The Croatian has remained competitive for over a decade, with 21 ATP titles and multiple Grand Slam semifinal appearances. His longevity and consistency have produced a number of defining moments, including a career win percentage of over 65%.
8. Grigor Dimitrov - £22,197,627
Over the course of more than a decade, Grigor Dimitrov has firmly established himself as one of the richest tennis players in the game. Though he never quite reached the heights many once predicted with early comparisons to Roger Federer, Dimitrov has carved out a legacy of his own. He has reached three Grand Slam semifinals and claimed nine titles on the ATP Tour.
9. Andrey Rublev - £21,496,082
Known for his explosive baseline power and relentless energy, Andrey Rublev has secured multiple ATP 500 and Masters 1000 titles. Though he has yet to break through to a Grand Slam final, the Russian’s consistent performance and aggressive style keep him among the most competitive players.
10. Kei Nishikori - £19,182,653
Japan’s tennis icon, Kei Nishikori, made history as the first Asian male player to ever reach a Grand Slam final at the 2014 US Open. Despite struggling with injuries in recent years, his incredible agility and sharp return game have played a major role in elevating his presence on the global stage.
The ten players above exemplify how excellence on the court can translate into incredible wealth, from long-established legends like Djokovic to rising stars like Alcaraz. For a similar look at success in another arena, let’s delve into the richest NFL players in the world in 2025.
