The 30 highest-paid tennis players of all time

Roger Federer

The 2017 US Open Tennis Championships are currently underway in New York City.

The fourth and final Grand Slam of the year is handing out a total of $50.4 million, the largest sum of prize money in tennis history. The men's and women's singles champions will each receive a check for $3.7 million.

That's a nice payday in and of itself, but most of the high-ranking players are also locked into endorsements with top sports and luxury brands, banking multiple times their on-court earnings in any given year.

Below, we take a look at the 30 highest-paid tennis players of all time, based on on-the-court winnings. While the list is skewed towards recent players, it's a mix of both men and women, as well as current players and all-time greats.

Data is from the ATP and WTA tours. Doubles and and mixed-doubles earnings are included in the career winnings, but are not included in the number of titles won.
