Few things are ever permanent in sport, but Forbes' latest list dissecting the top earners in tennis suggests the rich keep getting richer.
Roger Federer has consistently been a monetary mammoth in the modern age and retains his place as the sport's richest athlete. The Swiss star has earned $90million (£76m) over the past 12 months despite not playing competitively since Wimbledon 2021, making him one of the biggest earners in sport.
In fact, his eye-watering earnings are just over 50 per cent more than the rich list runner-up, Naomi Osaka, earned over the past year. The Japanese sensation has also been largely inactive on the court after prioritising her mental health, though she's still raked in around $56.2m (£47.5m).
