Federer, who has skipped this year's US Open due to a knee injury, made less than $1m from playing tennis, with the bulk of his income coming from endorsements, Forbes' said. Japan's Naomi Osaka is the second-highest earner on the list, with $60.1m in pre-tax income, more than 90% of which she made off court, with Serena Williams, Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal completing the top five. Williams and Nadal are also out of the year's final Grand Slam due to injury. The 10 highest-paid tennis players collectively earned $320m over the last 12 months, down 6% from last year, largely due to tournaments and lucrative exhibition matches being cancelled due to the Covid-19 pandemic, Forbes' said.
