Daniil Medvedev has bowed out of Wimbledon 2023 after losing to Carlos Alcaraz in the semi-finals – live-telecast made a hilarious botch in his career earnings
Daniil Medvedev had a pretty poor outing in the men’s singles Semi-finals of Wimbledon 2023. He lost in straight sets 3-6, 3-6, 3-6 against Carlos Alcaraz to bow out of the tournament. It was a pretty one-sided match and fans found their own talking point on social media.
The broadcasters of Wimbledon made a basic typo error and displayed Medvedev’s career earnings to be US$ 31 to date. It is pretty evident that they missed putting an ‘m’ to signify a million at the end. However, fans didn’t leave the opportunity to troll the broadcasters and have their share of laughter. Let us take a look at some of the hilarious reactions.
Daniil Medvedev’s current net worth is estimated to be US$ 35 million and he earns close to US$ 15 million from his sponsors and endorsement deals annually. The major contribution comes from his primary sponsors like Lacoste, Bovet, BMW, Tinkoff Bank and Tecnifibre.
Medvedev’s professional tennis career began in 2014, and since then, he has experienced significant success and increased earnings. In 2018, Medvedev experienced a breakthrough season, reaching several ATP finals and winning his first two ATP titles. He earned a total of approximately $2.5 million in prize money that year.
Over the next few years, Medvedev continued to climb the rankings and established himself as one of the top players in the world. In 2020, he won the ATP Finals, which also brought a substantial prize money reward. Medvedev’s earnings during this period from 2019-2021 were estimated to be several million dollars per year, combining prize money and endorsement deals. Medvedev has endorsement deals with various companies throughout his career, including Lacoste, Tecnifibre, and Rolex. These endorsement contracts have likely contributed significantly to his overall earnings, although the specific financial terms are typically not disclosed publicly.
