Tennis Stars’ Earnings Skyrocket: Alcalas Tops 2025 Salary Rankings

In the world of tennis, prize money has been surging over the past decade, with players, especially the stars, raking in substantial earnings. The upcoming 2025 US Open is set to distribute a staggering $90 million in total prize money alone.

Beyond Competition Revenue: Sponsored Income Dominates

While these amounts are impressive, they represent only a fraction of what top players earn annually. Sponsored income makes up the majority of their personal assets. Take Spain’s Carlos Alcalas, for instance, who earned a whopping $35 million from advertising contracts alone in 2025.

These amounts seem expensive, but they’re only a small portion of what players, especially the stars, earn in a season. – Tennis Industry Insider
