How Much Money Has Rafael Nadal Earned In 2018?
It's been another big year for Rafael Nadal. The clay-court specialist has compiled a 45-4 record, which included an 11th French Open title and four other singles titles.
With the success also comes fortune. The world No. 1 has netted an impressive $8,663,347 in prize money. In comparison, Roger Federer, who won the Australian Open, has taken home $5,888,130 this year.
However, Novak Djokovic has topped them both by taking home two Grand Slams. The Wimbledon and U.S. Open winner has seen a windfall of $9,272,973.
Nadal received $2.6 million for winning at Roland Garros, which was the biggest payout in French Open history. His other tournament wins include the Rogers Cup ($1,020,425), the Italian Open ($1,087,056), the Barcelona Open ($583,050) and the Monte-Carlo Masters ($1,087,056).
There have also been solid paydays for advancing deep into Grand Slams. Nadal reached the quarterfinals of the Australian Open, as well as the semifinals of Wimbledon and the U.S. Open.
Nadal can add to his winnings in November at the 2018 ATP Finals, a hardcourt tournament at the O2 Arena in London. The winner stands to earn $1,785,000.
Over his career, Nadal has taken in $103,251,975 in prize money in combined singles and doubles, according to ATP.com.
The Spaniard has also earned a considerable amount from endorsements. According to a Forbes report in July, Nadal has deals with Nike, Babolat, Kia Motors, Telefonica, Banco Sabadell, Richard Mille and others.
