The global commercial value ranking of athletes has been released, with Gauff leading six tennis players selected!

Various awards in the world of sports are constantly ongoing, especially towards the end of the year, with one event following another. Recently, a British sports media outlet published the 2025 global TOP 50 athletes with the highest market value, and tennis, as the world’s second most popular sport, has six players on this list. Let’s see:

10, Gauff

Topping the list is the young star Gauff. This prodigy attracted widespread attention from the very start of her career, as evidenced by her frequent appearances in center court matches.

In recent years, as she has won the US Open, the Year-End Championships, and the French Open, her endorsement fees have naturally surged. In this era of flourishing women’s tennis, although she hasn’t yet dominated alone, she has entered the ranks of top players—and most importantly, she is still very young.

15, Djokovic

Just behind Gauff by a narrow margin is the legendary Djokovic. Although this season he only won the Geneva title, he reached the semifinals in all four Grand Slams, demonstrating his enduring strength. Of course, his endorsement earnings also help him surpass the twin stars.

18, Alcaraz

21, Sinner

It’s obvious that the twin stars rank high on this list. In today’s men’s tennis, nearly all the spotlight is on these two. For two consecutive years, they have split the Grand Slam titles, and among the many tournaments they’ve played recently, only last year’s Madrid Masters had a champion outside of the two.

Regarding tournaments other than the Grand Slams this year, Alcaraz won Monte Carlo, Rome, and Cincinnati Masters, plus the Rotterdam and Tokyo 500-level events. Although Sinner didn’t claim another Masters title, he consistently reached finals and won titles in other tournaments. The China Open is no exception, and currently at the Vienna Open, who else but him could be champion?

Moreover, with endorsements from brands like Rolex and Louis Vuitton, he naturally earns a fortune.

27, Sabalenka

40, Swiatek

Both female players also secured Grand Slam titles this year. The former, after losing several major finals to American players, finally triumphed at the US Open, firmly holding the world No.1 spot. The Polish player hit a slump in the first half of the year but made a stunning breakthrough at Wimbledon, winning the Rosewater Trophy despite never having reached its semifinals before.

It should be noted that tennis barely makes the top ten, and with Federer retired, few remain capable of reaching the ultimate champion level. Who will be the next player with such potential?(Source: Tennis Home, Author: Luo Cheng Qiye)
