Roger Federer is the richest of 2019!

What could be the 2019 king of earnings if not Roger Federer? Tennis is said to be a sport for richests, but for some tennis players, few really, you can become a rich player. It is true that you need a good budget to get started: buy equipment, pay for a coach, an athletic trainer and travel all over the world.

But once you join the tennis elite, the Game generates much higher earnings than the costs. The prize money reserved for those who win tournaments or make excellent placements are further increased by pharaonic sponsorships and numerous commercial partnerships.
