20-time Grand Slam champ Roger Federer has a very closely knit team. His agent, Tony Godsick, has been with him for over 15 years, overseeing his growth as a player and a businessman. Federer and Godsick also have a few ventures together and have great trust between them.

It’s all but obvious that Roger appreciates the job that Godsick does for him. Considering that Federer is one of the most valuable sports entities in the world, Tony Godsick is certainly a more than decent agent.

“Tony and I have been working together for more than 15 years. We have developed a good sense of trust to make sure we are aligned with the same goals.” Federer said.

Godsick is the one who projected Federer as a global superstar as he brought in various sponsorship deals for Federer. All this made Federer a bran, and one of the richest athletes in history.

“It’s not about him and it’s not just about me. We have grown together. He understood how important the home market was for me, and it ended up being a great place for him to do business and also learn about who I am and where I love to live.”

All these business advancements from Godsick made Federer the highest-earning athlete in 2020. Federer earned $100 million from endorsements alone.
