TENNIS · 232 PLAYERS PAID

The 2007 tennis prize money list

$76,586,039 won on court in 2007, split between 232 players. Roger Federer took $10,130,620 of it.

Every player the tour paid in 2007, 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 9.6% on 2006, and is the 20th biggest of the 55 seasons we hold.

Roger Federer $10m Rafael Nadal $5.6m Novak Djokovic $3.9m Nikolay Davydenko $2.1m David Ferrer $2.0m Andy Roddick $1.5m Fernando Gonzalez $1.4m Richard Gasquet $1.3m David Nalbandian $1.2m Tomas Berdych $1.1m Mikhail Youzhny $1.0m Tommy Robredo $1.0m Juan Ignacio Chela $988k Tommy Haas $974k James Blake $967k Ivan Ljubicic $963k Guillermo Canas $920k Marcos Baghdatis $890k Andy Murray $881k Carlos Moya $867k

Ten players out of 232 took 39.6% 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 Tomas Berdych Czechia $1,023,135 $1,126,070 +10.1%

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 2006 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.
