Djokovic is the 'king of bonuses' of tennis

Serbian athletes top the list of players with the best income from the titles earned in careers.
$ 110 million, according to Business Insider statistics, is the total prize money Novak Djokovic received in his career. The Serbian has won 68 titles, including 12 Grand Slams.
Federer won more titles, with 93 big and small Cups, including 19 Grand Slam. However, the "Express Train" only collected nearly $ 108 million in prize money.

Djokovic does not have many titles and has not reached the same fame as Federer, but surpassed him in terms of bonuses.

The reason for the difference is that the later the tournament, the higher the reward for the champion. Most of Djokovic's trophies have won in the last five years, so the amount of money he receives is very high. US Open this year's total prize money amounted to $ 50.4 million and the champion received a $ 3.7 million check.

The Business Insider has just made its Top 30 tennis player statistics. This page sums up the official WTA and ATP bonuses for many years, both single and multiple.

The third player on the list is Rafael Nadal with $ 86 million. Serena Williams is next with a total prize money of $ 84 million. The Top 10 also has two other women, Venus Williams, seventh with $ 38 million and Maria Sharapova with $ 36.5 million.
Pete Sampras retired for the first time in 15 years, finishing sixth on the list with a $ 43 million bonus.
