While the Austrian has broken into the Top-10, it’s the usual suspects – the ‘Big Four’ – who take the top four places in the all-time earners’ list.
Novak Djokovic tops the money charts while Roger Federer trails at No.2
Novak Djokovic, who clinched an unprecedented ninth Australian Open title this year, tops the charts with an eye-popping $147,751,252 in career prize money earnings.
Old enemy Roger Federer, who is currently tied with Rafael Nadal for the most Grand Slam titles in men’s tennis, at 20 apiece, is significantly adrift at second in the rankings with a career prize money purse of $129,946,683.
The World 5 has been out of action for over a year since undergoing a knee surgery after last year’s Australian Open and it clearly had an impact on his court earnings while enabling the Serb to extend his lead.
Rafael Nadal ranks third with a career prize money purse of $123,843,596
Nadal, who lifted a record 13th French Open title last year, equaling Federer’s career haul of Major trophies, sits third on the list with gross prize money earnings of $123,843,596.
Two-time Wimbledon champion Andy Murray is at fourth on the money-makers list, with career court earnings of $61,797,815.
