**Professional Tennis [Players](https://www.mindstick.com/articles/12952/the-8-major-mistakes-players-make-in-the-casinos) Make A Year!**

Well, this annum’s **U.S. Open Tennis Tournament** is going to pay out a record of **$38.3 Million** as prize money, a **$3 million** is going to be awarded to the winners in the women’s and men’s singles tournament without the inclusion of bonus cash prize.

Currently, **Novak Djokovic** and **Serena Williams** are the two highest paid athlete on the floor across the globe.

But, still, I have a question ***how much does it spread the wealth..?***

As all over the count is of 32 players who are seeded at Grand Slam Tournaments, the Journal of the Wall Street starred on what a 32ns highest paid player would earn this year and on what parameters would they compare with a 32nd best player in many different sports.

Considering **18th of August**, those women’s and men’s players were **Fernando Verdasco**, **30 years** of age from **Spain** has made **$757,446**, **Casey Dellacqua**, who aged **29** of **Australia** made **$457,429** which does not include the money of any of the endorsement events.

In comparison, the **32nd** highest paid player in the **Major League Baseball** organized at Colorado Rockies… **Troy Tulowitzki**, had earned over **$16 Million** in the year of **2014**.

In the **National Football League**, the **32nd** highest paid player, **Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo**, will bag almost **$12 Million**. And in the **National Basketball Association**, the **Detroit Piston’s Josh Smith** will bag an amount of **$13.5 million**.

*This was all about the story of the **Tennis Player** earning… and it seems that they have the highest paid athletes across the globe!*

***\***

***So, now you are wise enough to jump for which sports to opt for as your career…***
