The list of highest-paid tennis players in 2025 has officially been unveiled with multiple recognizable names at the top.

For two decades, men’s tennis was defined by the Big Three of Novak Djokovic, Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal, who won a combined 66 out of 81 Grand Slam events between 2003 and 2023. Men’s tennis has entered a new era: the Big Two.

At last year's Paris Olympics, Rafael Nadal acted as a torchbearer after everything he has achieved in the City of Light. The 14-time Roland Garros winner received the sacred flame from Zinedine Zidane and described it as one of the greatest honors of his life!

The No. 1-ranked Sinner, the defending champion in singles at Flushing Meadows, was supposed to compete in mixed doubles with Katerina Siniakova.

It felt like tennis had delivered the perfect script—world No. 1 Jannik Sinner versus world No. 2 Carlos Alcaraz in a Masters 1000 final. Both had torn through the draw in Cincinnati, barely breaking a sweat, setting up the dream clash fans had been waiting for.
