We all know that the likes of Federer, Nadal, and Djokovic make more money than we could ever dream of spending, but have you ever wondered what some of the lower ranked guys make? Is the 100th ranked player wealthy? Does the 1000th ranked player earn enough money to pay rent? And how much does it cost for a player to travel the world playing tournaments? We answer all those questions, and many more, in today's episode dedicated to two very important aspects of life: Tennis and Money.

That was very well done. Crazy to compare the 195th ranked tennis player to the 195th ranked player in football, baseball, hockey, basketball etc. It makes me think tennis should create more leagues to help the lower ranked players play on teams to generate some revenue. Thanks again for putting this together. Definitely a must watch for young juniors and parents.

Let this video be a warning for those who call a player they see on TV a "pushover" just because they lose in first round to Nadal, Djokovic, Federer, Barty, Halep or the Williams sisters. Any player who qualifies for an internationally broadcast tournament and even has the chance to face any top 10 is good enough to beat 99% of the global population with an arm tied to the back. And any player who manages to enter the top 1000 of the ATP or WTA has more than justified their bid at professional tennis, let alone the top 100. They may not win Wimbledon, but that doesn't mean they haven't made it to the top and that they aren't WAY better than any KZfaq "coach".

So players have to travel to other countries to play these events. I realized all this 3-4 years ago and said bye-bye to tennis. Now I just play on weekends, just as a hobby.

That's so true. When I played in SGFI, my mind was boggled to see how mostly all the players were from well-off families. Not to take anything away from those players as they're without a doubt very talented, but for players from small towns and middle-class families, it's extremely difficult to pursue a sport like tennis.

My dad has always told me that if I'm playing for the money, I'm in the wrong business. He says that the real value comes from the experiences that you have, the ability to do what you love while travelling the world and experiencing different cultures.

It's not because tennis is an elitist sport, it's because anything remotely similar to tennis's economic structure (individuals building their own brands in an attendance/travel-based environment) is incredibly skewed. Even pro wrestling (which is predetermined and more entertainment-based) has a similar structure. Jim Duggan (winner of the first Royal Rumble) estimated only 120 people hold contracts and the rest would drive "200-500 miles for $25" according to (former WCW champion) Diamond Dallas Page. Of course, it goes without saying that the people at the top earn millions of dollars per year...

Fun fact, Since you mentioned baseball triple a as a comparison for the challenger level in tennis. Triple a players in baseball would probably have a heart attack if they were told they were gonna make 60k a year. Since they make around 2800 dollars a month and only get paid for the half year the season is active. so around 15 k a season, probably a bit less. The 2800 is also a massive increase compared to just ten years ago.

I remember hearing a story where the NHL asked one of their highest ranking players how much they should pay him per year. He wrote down the number 35000. They accepted the deal, and payed a *top five ranking player* no more than _minimum wage._

If your ranked outside the top 500, it really helps to live close to where a lot of future tournaments are held. Some places (like Heraklion in Greece) hold tournaments several weeks in a row and you can stay and play at a resort at low season prices. Are domestic flights in the US really 700 USD btw? You could do a 4-5 cities tour in Europe for that money.

Its called a pareto distribution, the same distribution appears in nearly any competitive field you care to look at. The flatter the distribution, the lower the payoff to be at the top but the more you earn to be in the middle and bottom.

This is why Djokovic formed new players asossiation, but yet Nadal nor Federer didn't want to support him, rich will to stay rich while poor will stay poor that's how the world works and even the current No. 1 can't change it

This tennis circuit seems very similar to the Poker circuit. So many players compete in tournaments all over, and its fun to go around and compete, but fact is vast majority need a true full-time job outside of poker to sustain the costs to keep the thrill of playing in the circuit (with the carrot of a potential big payday if one gets very lucky).

After a bad start, the rest of the presentation is pretty good and shows that though the pot of gold is big for the top players, the chances of success are small and thousands of players make nothing in the end. On coaches, I always wondered how much they charged. One think that may be missing is that there are players who are financially supported by investors, whether it be family, friends and local business people. They provide all or part of the costs of competing in exchange for a contract giving them a portion of the winnings. If the player does “make it”, these investors make back their money and more.
