Rafael Nadal has made $134 million in career prize money, will retire as No. 2 highest-earning tennis player ever

Rafael Nadal will play in the final tennis tournament of his illustrious career this week, taking the court to represent his nation in the 2024 Davis Cup.

 

 

The 38-year-old Spaniard — whose 22 Grand Slam titles are second only to Novak Djokovic’s 24 — is one of the winningest players in the history of the sport. He is also one of the highest earning.

 

 

Rafael Nadal, widely celebrated as one of tennis’s greatest legends, has retired with career prize money totaling $134.9 million, making him the second-highest-earning player in ATP history after Novak Djokovic, who has earned $184.5 million. Nadal’s remarkable career includes 22 Grand Slam singles titles, 92 overall ATP titles, and an astonishing 81-match winning streak on clay courts. He spent 209 weeks as the ATP world No. 1 and was a fixture in the top 10 for an unparalleled 912 consecutive weeks.

 

 

Nadal’s earnings from tennis only tell part of the story. He has also accumulated over $415 million through endorsements and partnerships with brands such as Nike, Kia, and Richard Mille. This combination of on-court dominance and commercial success has solidified his status as a global icon.

 

 

Nadal played his final match at the 2024 Davis Cup Finals, bowing out in a singles rubber against Botic van de Zandschulp. Despite challenges in his final seasons due to injuries, he managed to secure memorable performances, including a return to the clay-court finals at the Swedish Open in preparation for the Paris Olympics.

 

 

His retirement closes a chapter on an illustrious 23-year career that began in 2001 and leaves a lasting legacy in tennis history.
