Felix Auger-Aliassime’s Shoes

Adidas Ubersonic 4 shoes are lightweight and provide a snug fit. The shoe features two layers in the upper –  a seamless Primeknit layer that has a sock-like construction, and a layer of woven Primegreen material

The shoe weighs 13.5 oz, definitely on the lightweight side when it comes to most tennis shoes. The shoes run true to size and don’t need any break-in period.

The shoe’s outsole has durable rubber material that provides excellent traction as you move around on the court.  A dense herringbone tread pattern in high wear improves the shoe’s durability, which is decent for a lightweight shoe.

Adidas has added foam in the midsole area that makes this shoe more comfortable compared to the previous versions. The shoe comes with a removable insole that you can remove and wash as needed.

Bottom Line

Either Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi had held the top spot in three of the last four years.  But due to COVID-19, top soccer clubs have cut players’ salaries.  This enabled Federer to leapfrog to the top of the money ladder.

Five other tennis players featured in the Top 100 including Novak Djokovic, Rafael Nadal, Naomi Osaka, Serena Williams, and Kei Nishikori.

Money ranking of  top tennis players

23. Novak Djokovic – $44.6 million
27. Rafael Nadal – $40 million
29. Naomi Osaka – $37.4 million
33. Serena Williams – $36 million
40. Kei Nishikori – $32 million

This is the first time that a tennis player has topped the Forbes list in its 30-year history.  Naomi Osaka topped the women’s list.  

Top tennis players are making more money than ever in endorsements.  Tennis has global appeal and brands have been eager to sign up top players such as Roger Federer and Naomi Osaka.

World Number 1 Novak Djokovic is expected to overtake Federer in grand slam wins before he retires.  But his earnings are less than half of Federer’s.  A good chunk of Djokovic’s earnings comes from his wins on the court whereas Federer’s earnings are dominated by huge sponsorship deals.
