However a series of unfortunate recent injuries displaced him from his spot among the top two players.
He is now ranked the World’s No.21, which according to Forbes saw his earnings plummet from £16.3million ($21.6million) in 2015 to £1.1million ($1.5million) in the last 12 months.

On top of his tennis earnings, Djokovic pulls in sponsorship deals from the likes of Japanese clothes designer Uniqlo and French company Lacoste.
