Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal’s Whopping $3.5 Million Bounty From 2020 Throws Novak Djokovic’s Us Open Paycheck for a Toss

Despite being in the twilight of his competitive tennis journey, Novak Djokovic has still managed to mark several triumphant runs at Grand Slam events. Even at the last major tournament of this season, it was the Serbian tennis star who secured his fourth US Open title in New York. In addition to lifting the trophy, the ‘Djoker’ also bagged a whopping prize of around $3 million. However, an interesting detail about the prize purse secured by the Serb has now surfaced online.

Apparently, Djokovic’s arch-rivals, Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal, previously managed to raise an amount through an exhibition event, which is more than the Serb did at this season’s US Open. Let’s find out how the two ATP superstars previously generated an astounding sum through a non-competitive event.
