Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal meet again on Centre Court with the legendary duo fighting it out for a place in the final of Wimbledon.

Novak Djokovic awaits, following his tricky match with Roberto Bautisa Agut.

Federer, an eight-time winner at SW19, and the club house leader for career Grand Slams at 20, is bidding to extend his incredible record at the Championships.

While Nadal, who was victorious in their marathon match in 2008, 11 years ago, is just two behind his rival and a two-time winner on the grass at Wimbledon.

Both have amassed incredible earnings on the court over a combined 39 years on the Tour.

The Swiss maestro has the edge of the Spanish bull in terms of career earnings on the court.

Federer, 37, has earned $15m (£11.9m) more than his rival, with $124 million (£98.75m) to date.

While Nadal has pocketed $109m (£86.8m) in prize money.

Federer has proven an earning machine off the court, and came in at No 11 in Forbes’ highest paid athletes of 2019, with $93.4m (£74.4m) combined from his on-court earnings and endorsements.

Credit Suisse, Mercedes-Benz and Rolex are all bankrolling Federer, while Japanese apparel brand Uniqlo tied him down in 2018 to a 10-year, $300m (£239m) deal.

Nadal meanwhile is down at No 37 in Forbes’ list, earning $35m (£27.9m) annually.

Should either player advance to the final and defeat Djokovic, they can bank another £2.35m.
