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).

Alexander Zverev and Alex de Minaur have officially committed to the ninth Laver Cup at The O2 in London, scheduled for September 25-27, 2026. Zverev will represent Team Europe and de Minaur will play for Team World, joining Carlos Alcaraz and Taylor Fritz on their respective rosters.

“I always love being part of the Laver Cup,” said Zverev in a release provided by the competition. “The team atmosphere is incredible, and the intensity is unlike anything else we play all year. London is a great tennis city and The O2 is one of the most special stadiums in the world for me and has already delivered some unforgettable moments for this event. I’m excited to return and hopefully we can win the title back for Team Europe.”

Zverev will make a seventh appearance for Team Europe. A six-time Laver Cup competitor and the event’s all-time leading points scorer, he returns to London after last year’s defeat in San Francisco, the first Laver Cup loss of his career. His record includes title-winning teams in Prague (2017), Chicago (2018), Geneva (2019), Boston (2021) and Berlin (2024). Zverev also has a notable history at The O2, where he won the ATP Finals in 2018, and he arrives off a strong start to 2026 that included an Australian Open semifinal loss to teammate Carlos Alcaraz.

“Sascha understands this competition as well as anyone,” said Noah. “He’s been part of all of Team Europe’s Laver Cup victories over the years, and even in tough moments he’s someone the team can rely on. His experience, leadership and competitiveness will be hugely important for us as we aim to win back the cup.”

Team World’s top-ranked player and winner of last week’s ATP 500 event in Rotterdam, de Minaur will compete in his third Laver Cup. He was part of Team World’s first title in London in 2022 and was influential in San Francisco last year, winning all three of his matches to help secure another victory for Team World.

“Laver Cup is one of the most intense and exciting weeks on the calendar,” added De Minaur. “Playing in London in 2022 was a special moment for our team, and San Francisco showed what this group is capable of. I loved playing under Andre last year and I’m really looking forward to getting back out there in London with him and the team.”

“Alex is a fierce competitor and the consummate professional,” said Agassi. “Our week together in San Francisco gave me an even greater appreciation for him and what he brings to the team. I’m extremely excited to have him back as a part of Team World.”

With Team World taking three of the last four titles, the rivalry will return to London, the site of Roger Federer’s final match in 2022 alongside Rafael Nadal, Novak Djokovic and Andy Murray. Fans can expect intense singles, unusual doubles pairings and top players joining forces in a team format.

Carlos Alcaraz and Taylor Fritz have both committed to play the 2026 Laver Cup when the event returns to The O2 in London. Organizers said Tuesday that the two players who secured the last two editions will return to lead their respective squads under second-year captains Yannick Noah and Andre Agassi.

“To play at The O2 in London is going to be amazing,” Alcaraz said in a statement. “Having the chance to be in a team with players that normally I’m fighting against during the year is really unique and what makes me keep wanting to play Laver Cup every year.”

Added Fritz, “Laver Cup is such an exciting week for me. I love the team atmosphere, the energy you get playing these matches, when you’re playing for more than yourself is incredible.”

The pair have faced each other in decisive matches across the past two editions. The Spaniard rallied Team Europe to a dramatic victory in 2024 when he defeated Fritz to seal the title at Berlin. Fritz answered the following year in San Francisco, taking a Day 2 win over Alcaraz before securing the trophy for Team World against Alexander Zverev.

The O2 will become the first venue in the event’s nine-year history to host the Laver Cup twice. In 2022 the arena was the site of Roger Federer’s emotional retirement, and that London weekend concluded with Team World celebrating its maiden victory after losing the first four editions.

With both Alcaraz and Fritz confirmed, the 2026 Laver Cup returns to a rivalry that has shaped the recent history of the event and promises to be a focal point when the teams convene at The O2 next year.
