Unlike team sports, tennis players, for the most part, must rely on their own talent to earn their way. However, once that talent takes a player to the top of the sport, it can lead to regular runs that go deep in tournaments and eventually it translates to a lucrative career.

Below, we take a look at the 30 highest-paid tennis players of all time. While the list is skewed towards recent players, there is good mix of both men and women, as well as current players and some of the all-time greats.

The 30 players below have combined to win 196 Grand Slam singles titles and 1,452 singles titles overall.

Data is from the ATP and WTA tours. Doubles and and mixed-doubles earnings are included in the career winnings, but are not included in the number of titles won.
