Tennis game is also becoming the richest game in the world. As per now, i think football is the richest game I am not sure or else base ball these players are getting millions of salary per month. Now tennis players also started to earn huge money from big tournament. Who will become the 3.7M dollar baby any guess?
Wow this is what tennis players need . There are tons of players out there who spend all their time on tennis:) I am not talking about big guns and yeah you are right Soccer is the richest game right now in the world and if you take individual game then Tennis is the first.
Wow that's indeed a lot of money to be won by playing tennis, Even the money at the first round is really impressive, I wonder how much money Serena Williams have won throughout the years.I am betting for Roger Federer to once again scoop the top prize with major tennis players currently out injured.
Yes it is huge money. If you play one game, you will get $50k. Which company will give us this much salary? That is why now every youth wants to become sports player. And I think Boxing is the highest individual pay game. The boxers will get more than millions of money from just game one.
Maybe it's really a good game and behind that impressions of having an opportunity to gain good money as income of about $50k, I think that's a great one. In my insights about that, young people in my place doesn't really gave interest about it and they just prefer having fun like basketball and not tennis. They thought that it was just for older ones, because there's no idea of wide sports system that goverrment could support them to be on tennis leauge like what's mentioned on tis thread; earning that big salary in the future.
Yes, tennis is a very rich sport! Federer and Djokovic have earned more than 100M in tournament prizes but top players also earn a lot with sponsors (Djokovic, Federer, Nadal also earn 40M each year with sponsors)
Yeah tennis has now become very lucrative for most players, specially the top 5. But back in the days, tournament prize money is so small eventhough that the sports is very popular even then. That's why you will see a lot of young and upcoming players are trying to break in the tennis scene because of the prize money involved.
Federer is still the best when it comes to forehand, I will not remove my support from him no matter even if he loses, He made a comeback and it can be seen , and playing at home he is a beast.
Yes. Roger Federer has the best forehand on tennis right now. No one can come close to him. Wimbledon is his, he own that court. LOL.
