TENNIS · 211 PLAYERS PAID

The 2004 tennis prize money list

$65,676,816 won on court in 2004, split between 211 players. Roger Federer took $6,357,547 of it.

Every player the tour paid in 2004, ranked by what they won that season and nothing else. A career total rewards longevity; a season list rewards the year, which is why the two rankings almost never agree at the top. The season is up 4.9% on 2003, and is the 31th biggest of the 55 seasons we hold.

Roger Federer $6.4m Lleyton Hewitt $2.8m Andy Roddick $2.6m Marat Safin $2.3m Guillermo Coria $1.7m Gaston Gaudio $1.6m Tim Henman $1.5m Carlos Moya $1.4m Andre Agassi $1.2m David Nalbandian $1.0m Jonas Bjorkman $928k Tommy Robredo $862k Nicolas Massu $855k Jiri Novak $814k Dominik Hrbaty $809k Guillermo Canas $782k Fernando Gonzalez $767k Sebastien Grosjean $756k Feliciano Lopez $749k Max Mirnyi $743k

Ten players out of 211 took 34.3% of the season. A prize-money sport concentrates that way by construction: there is no wage and no appearance money on this list, so everything follows the rounds, and a player who reaches the second week of four majors has out-earned a year of quarter-finals everywhere else.

10 David Nalbandian Argentina $1,280,383 $1,045,985 -18.3%

A season list moves harder than a career list. Prize money is paid for results and nothing else, so a player who was hurt for half of 2003 can treble his money in a year without doing anything differently, and a player who slips two rounds at three majors loses a third of his.
