Roger Federer has been added to Forbes magazine’s annual list of the world’s billionaires, with an estimated net worth of $1.1 billion. The total includes nearly $131 million in career prize money, the third-highest total in tennis behind Novak Djokovic ($189 million) and Rafael Nadal ($135 million).

Federer retired in September 2022 after 310 weeks ranked as the ATP world No. 1. Off the court he was the highest-paid tennis player for 16 consecutive years through his retirement; at his peak in 2020 he earned an estimated $106 million. Those figures were supported by long-term sponsorship deals with Uniqlo, Rolex, Mercedes-Benz, Lindt, Moët & Chandon and others.

Forbes attributes most of Federer’s post-retirement wealth to his early investment in Swiss sportswear company On. Federer reportedly bought a three percent stake in 2019 when the company was known as On Running and concentrated largely on running. He later worked with On to develop The Roger Pro shoe and helped steer the brand into tennis. On has since signed top players such as Iga Swiatek and Ben Shelton to head-to-toe deals.

Federer’s business footprint also includes co-founding the Team8 management agency in 2013 with longtime agent Tony Godsick. The pair went on to create the Laver Cup, a competition that has grown into a sanctioned ATP Tour event and a profitable property.

Federer first crossed the billion-dollar threshold in August 2025, joining a small group of athletes who have reached that milestone, including Cristiano Ronaldo, Lionel Messi, LeBron James and Tiger Woods. He is the second figure from tennis to be listed as a billionaire after Ion Țiriac, whose estimated net worth is $2.3 billion. Federer appears among a number of notable newcomers to the Forbes World Billionaires list, including James Cameron ($1.1 billion), Beyonce ($1 billion) and Dr. Dre ($1 billion).

Emma Raducanu has ended a long apparel relationship with Nike, the brand that sponsored her since she was 15, and has signed with Uniqlo. The 2021 US Open champion will be the first female tennis player to join the Japanese label after the move was confirmed by the brand on Monday.

During the offseason Raducanu was seen “experimenting” with a Yonex racquet, only to remain with Wilson once the season began. Contract talk has trailed her for months; tennis podcaster Craig Shapiro claimed last month that the Brit would make upwards of $3 million annually with an impending switch to the Japanese brand.

Uniqlo teased the signing by posting the body of a female player posed in blue tennis attire with red details on its social channels before revealing Raducanu as the new face. The brand’s announcement included the line: “Emma will champion UNIQLO’s LifeWear philosophy, which is committed to pursuing excellence, making meaningful contributions to society, and empowering the next generation,” the announcement on Uniqlo’s channels read.

Nike remains a sponsor of top players named in recent coverage, and Raducanu is the latest prominent athlete to depart the sportswear giant. Other recent moves away from Nike noted in reports include Taylor Fritz (Boss), Frances Tiafoe (Lululemon) and Jack Draper (Vuori).

Raducanu’s deal with Uniqlo has been compared in reporting to the arrangement the brand struck with Roger Federer in 2018. A report in The Athletic said that “Raducanu will play an active role in designing her on-court apparel and will participate in community-engagement activities worldwide, in a similar way to Federer and the actress Cate Blanchett, who joined as a global brand ambassador last summer.”

Nike’s design division, Nike Atelier, collaborated with Jannik Sinner to produce a one-of-one performance outfit that nods to his alpine roots during the 2026 Milan Cortina Games. Raised near the Dolomites, Sinner was a national champion in giant slalom before focusing on tennis, and the bespoke collection was intended to reflect that background.

The custom set included a bespoke jacket, an insulated vest featuring adaptive A.I.R. technology, tailored pants and matching footwear. Sinner wore the pieces for one-on-one interviews with global fashion media in Milan alongside Nike Chief Design Officer Martin Lotti and at a special event marking the relaunch of All Conditions Gear, known as ACG.

“For me, it’s very important to always have a small sign of where I’m from,” the ATP’s world No. 2 said via the Nike website.

The sculptural, winter-ready silhouette emphasizes deep pleats and a boxy cocoon shape, and it served as a focal point for Nike’s presence at the Games. Nike is not an official Winter Olympics partner, but the brand maintained a visible presence in Milan and Cortina through pop-up activations. Those included a surprise appearance when Sinner punched tickets aboard the “ACG Express” at Milan’s Centrale station while wearing pieces from his custom collection.

Made to Sinner’s exact specifications by Nike Atelier, the outfit was crafted by Senior Design Director Raffaella Barbey in collaboration with Lotti and a multidisciplinary team. Barbey conducted fittings with Sinner in Melbourne during his Australian Open run and refined the garments through multiple rounds of feedback and iteration.

“When a brand invests this much thought and energy into a single moment, it shows they really care about making the athlete feel special. That’s one of the biggest reasons why I love being with Nike—they make you feel important.”

“This experience felt very different from work I’ve done with other brands,” Sinner says. “I was more involved in the process. There were a lot of conversations about what could be better, what wasn’t right, what worked well. In the end, we came out with an incredible result.”

World No. 2 Sinner opened the year with a run to the semifinals at the Australian Open, where he had been the two-time defending champion, before falling to a resurgent Novak Djokovic in five sets.
