Many Eyes : Overview of Top 10 Highest Paid Tennis Players in 2011 By Miriam Stevens
“Given the difficult global economic climate the past few years, it’s impressive the way the professional tennis world and its tournaments and players have managed to not only continue playing with relatively few problems, but actually even earn more money each year! Therefore, in many ways, it’s not that surprising that Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal and Maria Sharapova have all made the Forbes 2011 List of the Highest Paid Athletes. The Forbes list factors in income from salaries, bonuses, prize money, appearance fees and endorsement income during the past year.”
