From multiple Grand Slam title winners to Olympic gold medallists, these tennis stars are legends of the game. Having made many millions of dollars in winnings, and from lucrative endorsement deals and side-gigs, their groaning trophy cabinets are only rivalled in bling by their glittering property portfolios.

As one of the best players in tennis history, it's not surprising that Novak Djokovic owns a collection of palatial properties worldwide.

The 24-time Grand Slam winner and his wife Jelena reportedly have two condos in the Renzo Piano-designed towers at 565 Broome SoHo in New York, one of which acts as Novak's US tennis HQ, as well as homes in Spain, Serbia and elsewhere in the US.

Let's take a tour...

Famously patriotic, it's no surprise Djokovic has not one but two homes in his native Serbia. This 12,900-square-foot (1,200sqm) home stands on the peaceful shores of Lake Pavlovac, 43 miles (70km) northwest of Belgrade.

Novak began building this sprawling family home in 2017 and refused to rush the project, wanting every detail complete before he moved in.

The enormous plot is accessed via a long driveway, which appears to be protected by a guard lodge and boasts a large swimming pool, a hot tub, a private jetty and a small beach. 

The white structure presumably conceals at least one tennis court. We can't imagine Djokovic ever skipping training, even when he's on holiday!

Meanwhile, the house is set among acres of tree-dotted gardens and features two wings, each with lake views.

Djokovic and Jelena had a home in billionaire playground Monte Carlo for 15 years but packed their sports bags and relocated to Marbella, Spain, when COVID-19 hit, renting this prestigious pad. The couple spent much of lockdown here with their two children, sharing glimpses inside the impressive home. They must have fallen in love with the villa because they bought it in December 2020.

The nine-bedroom, eight-bathroom villa is worth €10 million (£8.3m / $10.8m) according to Hello Magazine, which is a drop in the ocean for the tennis great, who's worth around £185 million ($240m). The mansion has a beautiful tennis court with incredible views of the Marbella mountains.

In 2017, Djokovic bought a £3.1 million ($4m) Miami Beach, Florida apartment in the Renzo Piano-designed Eighty Seven Park building. The contemporary three-bed has top-tier facilities and Atlantic Ocean views, but he waved it goodbye shortly after winning his sixth Wimbledon title in 2021.

The tennis great also snapped up a three-bedroom penthouse in this New Belgrade apartment complex for a reported €545,000 (£455k/$590k) in 2018. It's just a six-minute drive from restaurant Novak 1, a Djokovic-themed café run by the star's parents. 

According to Novak's father Srdjan, the ace will live in Serbia once he retires. Why not, when he has two high-end properties to enjoy?

Serena Williams has long been regarded as one of the best players on the planet and she's built a world-class property portfolio to match her status.

In 1998, when the 23-time Grand Slam winner was just 17, she and her elder sister Venus spent $525,000 (that would be around £772k/$1m today) on their first piece of land, a one-acre plot in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida. They built a luxurious home there and sold it for a hefty profit.

Almost a decade later, in 2006, Serena splashed £5.1 million ($6.6m) on this beautiful 2.7-acre Bel-Air estate. She called the six-bedroom, seven-bathroom mansion home for 13 years. 

Built in 1935, the house exudes an aura of old Hollywood charm, despite modern upgrades. This semi-circular living room lined with floor-to-ceiling windows is the jewel of the 6,100-square-foot (567sqm) home, which includes a formal entryway, dining room, and a bar and gym.

Upstairs, this luxurious bathroom is certainly fit for a champion, while the hair and make-up salon and dressing room would have been the perfect place for Serena to prep for one of the many red-carpet events she attends.

It's not all glamour though, perhaps unsurprisingly for one of the tour's most formidable players, Serena transformed one of the main bedrooms into a gym and fitness room.

Outside, the lush gardens offer private hiking trails, a vine-covered colonnade and a swimming pool with an elegant loggia. Despite the stunning setting, Serena and her husband, Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian, moved on in 2019, selling their home for £6.2 million ($8.1m).

The amazing estate hit the market again in June 2024 for £10.4 million ($13.5m).

Now retired from tennis, the sporting great owns a home in Beverly Hills, as well as an apartment in Paris and a Spanish Mediterranean-style mansion near Miami.

She also bought this estate in Jupiter, Florida, for £6.2 million ($8m) in 2020 from baseball player Yadier Molina. Built in 2007, the eight-bedroom, seven-and-a-half-bathroom home had a guest house, baseball diamond, tennis court (naturally), an elaborate pool and a three-car garage.

However, Williams reportedly plans to demolish and rebuild it. We can't wait to see what she builds in its place.

Rafael Nadal, who announced in October 2024 that he would retire after Spain's Davis Cup Finals in Malaga in November that same year, is the undisputed king of the clay courts. So it makes perfect sense that he's built himself a palace.

The Spaniard snapped up a secluded spot in Porto Cristo, Mallorca in 2013 for just over €4 million (£3.4m/$4.3m), scoring a hefty discount on the €5.9 million (£5.1m / $6.5m) asking price. However, it took around a decade for Rafa to move in. Let's find out why...

As we can glimpse through the trees that dot this rocky coast, the original house was a charming traditional Mallorcan stone villa. However, over the last 10 years Rafa and his wife Xisca, who welcomed their first child in 2022, have demolished the existing buildings and built a huge new complex to meet the needs of their growing family.

The new bright white building was designed by Mallorcan architect Tomeu Esteva and consists of two interconnected two-storey buildings with hipped roofs that protect the terraces beneath.

In 2019, shortly before building work began, the star gave a tour of the site on CBS show 60 Minutes. Despite the property looking a little unloved, the grandeur of the estate was evident, with large terraced gardens, wide stone staircases, harbour views and a rocky path built into the cliff that leads right down to the sea.

Rafa explained that the only potential problem with the incredible location is that local kids have traditionally used the garden as a shortcut to reach the cliffs, from which they jump into the sea –something the 22-time Grand Slam winner has admitted to doing a few times himself. 

The location is very special to Nadal, who was born and grew up in the area. His parents live just across the bay and, most importantly, he's able to keep an eye on his 80-foot (24m) yacht, Great White, from his pool.

You can spy the Porto Cristo marina through the trees in this photo of Rafa swimming, which he shared on Instagram in September 2023. He's clearly enjoying island life!

The bespoke Sunreef 80 Power catamaran (pictured, left, in the Porto Cristo marina) has a whopping 4,000 square feet (372sqm) of living space, including a master stateroom with a flip-down ceiling TV above the bed, a walk-in wardrobe and a private fold-out balcony.

The sleek interior was specifically tailored to the star's tastes. With room for eight guests as well as crew, we're pretty sure that's game, set and match to Rafa.

In 2013, when he beat Novak Djokovic, Sir Andy Murray became Britain's first player to win the Wimbledon men's singles competition in 77 years. In doing so, he became a national hero and cemented his status when he repeated the feat in 2016. 

With an estimated net worth of £77 million ($100 million) the two-time Olympic gold medallist and his wife Kim can afford any home they want, so let's see what they went for...

The couple paid a cool £4.9 million ($6.3m) for this five-bedroom home in 2009. Tucked away in an affluent corner of Surrey, the upmarket neighbourhood is a magnate for sports stars.

Footballers Didier Drogba, Graham Le Saux, John Terry and Jamie Redknapp, fellow tennis player David Lloyd and golfer Colin Montgomery all call the area home. 

Interestingly, Murray didn't have a tennis court at his home, although, as we can see, he did have a green rebound board on his drive that he could hit practice balls against.

The home was designed to the highest spec, with a sleek kitchen and larder opening out into a large open-plan living space.

During Covid, the father of four gave fans a glimpse inside his kitchen, posting a photo on Instagram of himself on his birthday in May 2020 holding an enormous platter of sushi.

In the background, a pine dining table and black metal chairs were positioned next to an olive tree, which softened the clean angles of the room. Double glass doors open into a large reception hall, dining room, drawing room and study.

The three-time Grand Slam winner sold the property in December 2021 for just under £5 million ($6.4m) and moved into a house he and Kim built nearby.

The living room décor in their new pad consists of gentle, neutral tones, while the overflowing toy basket in the background is something anyone with young children can relate to! Elsewhere, muted green striped wallpaper gives the home a feeling of calm, clashing with Murray's bright costume.

As we can see from this photo, the tennis champ's previous home had a sizable garden but it was nothing compared to their new home, which stands on 28 acres.

As such, it has plenty of space for Andy and Kim's son and three daughters to run around and, most importantly, room for a tennis court where dad can enjoy a knockabout.

Andy retired from professional tennis after the 2024 Paris Olympics, after putting on an impressive show in the men's doubles with Dan Evans.

Boris Becker is the youngest-ever winner of the Wimbledon men's title, defeating South African Kevin Curren in 1985 aged just 17. Known as 'Boom Boom' due to his powerful serve, Becker went on to win six grand slams, including two more Wimbledon titles in 1986 and 1989.

However, despite amassing an estimated fortune of £143 million ($185m) at the peak of his career, the star sportsman spectacularly lost it all. Let's take a look at the house at the centre of the saga...

In 1997, just over a decade after his famous Wimbledon win, the German ace bought the idyllic Finca de Son Coll on the Spanish island of Mallorca.

At the time, the star could afford to splash out a reported £478,000 (about £895k/$1.1m today) on the property and proceeded to spend a fortune on it, adding a pool with a Moroccan-style pool house, a guesthouse, a basketball court and more.

But the dream home soon turned into a nightmare...

According to the Daily Mail, Becker was slapped with a €214,000 (£178k/$231k) fine in 2004 for additions that weren't approved by the authorities and was ordered to tear them down. In 2007, the property was put on the market for the purportedly hefty asking price of £14.7 million ($19.1m) but no buyer could be found.

The Grand Slam singles champion struggled to afford the upkeep and in 2011, Becker was sued by his gardener who was owed £246,000 ($319k). As ordered by the Spanish court, the property was confiscated until the outstanding bill was paid. This happened again in 2014 when Becker failed to settle an invoice for building work.

Becker eventually paid the invoice and recouped the property, only to lose it for good following his bankruptcy in 2017. The Finca passed to the administrators but was commandeered by German squatter, Georg Berres and members of his so-called Intergalactic Auxiliary and Rescue Command. 

While living there, Berres documented the state of the once beautiful home. It had clearly been abandoned midway through building works, with piles of furniture left in the overgrown garden and the interior stripped almost bare. Police removed the squatters in January 2020.

Becker, like his abandoned mansion, has experienced a difficult few years. The former ATP Player of the Year was convicted of tax evasion by a German court in 2002 and handed a two-year suspended prison sentence. Over the following two decades, he became a Wimbledon pundit, coached Novak Djokovic and moved to the UK.

In 2017 the troubled champ was declared bankrupt again due to an unpaid debt on his Mallorcan home, which he was forced to sell for £9 million ($11.7m). In 2022, Becker was found guilty of hiding assets to repay his debts and served eight months of a 30-month prison sentence in the UK, before he was released and deported to Germany.

Known as much for his on-court antics as his stylish play, Nick Kyrgios is a seven-time ATP Tour singles winner who's racked up over £9.6 million ($12.5m) since turning pro in 2013.

Blighted by injury in recent years, he has been very honest that he sees tennis as his "job" and he'd often prefer to be doing other things as reported by Forbes.

"I’m very content with my life," he said on a podcast called On Purpose in 2023. "I have more than enough to enjoy." And one of those things is his two-level Sydney penthouse. Let's take a look around...

While it's fair to say Nick Kyrigos divides opinion, it's hard to dislike anything about his super-sleek apartment. He spent around AUD$1.6 million (£820k/$1.1m) on the bijou apartment in May 2022.

Forced to pull out of Wimbledon due to a wrist injury that year, the Australian had the time to settle into the new pad with girlfriend Costeen Hatzi and the pair regularly post snapshots of their lives and home on social media.

Nick shared a story on moving day that showed him revelling in the "new apartment vibes", while another post shows off the incredible views from his private rooftop terrace.

As we can see from Costeen's snaps, the couple's 1,884-square-foot (175sqm) apartment has soaring ceilings and wraparound double-height windows, which fill the apartment with light and give the pair incredible views of Sydney. 

It's clear why the three-bed, two-bath apartment was described in the listing as a 'designer oasis', with clean lines and an open-plan layout maximising the sense of space, while Miele appliances kit out the chic kitchen.

In June 2024, Nick gave his fans a peek inside his incredible gaming room. Aftershock PC Australia created a custom PC especially for the tennis star, taking his spectacular setup to the next level.

The embedded Blastoise shell is a nod to Kyrgios' obsession with Pokémon. He famously has an enormous Pokémon-themed tattoo covering his back, as reported by magazine GQ.

As well as space for the 2022 Wimbledon finalist's Dodge Challenger and £82,000 ($106k) lime green Tesla (pictured), the building has a gym and outdoor lap pool. We think Kyrgios served an ace when he picked up this little gem and it seems he's not stopping there.

In 2023, Nick and Costeen were spotted in Miami taking a VR tour around the luxurious E11even Residences Beyond, according to magazine Page Six.

Kyrgios estimates he's shelled out about AUD$800,000 (£410k/$531k) in fines over his career. As E11even condos start from £386,000 ($500k) and go all the way up to £15.4 million ($20m) for a penthouse, he'd better stop losing money on fines and start saving!

Former world number eight, Anna Kournikova moved to Miami, Florida from her native Russia to train in America aged just 10.

Despite her fame as a singles player, it was the doubles game in which she really excelled. At times she ranked number one in the world and won several Grand Slams with Martina Hingis as her partner.

Kournikova coupled up with 'Hero' singer Enrique Iglesias in 2001 and the pair have called the Sunshine State home ever since, building a beautiful home and family together.

Kournikova, who debuted on the WTA Tour aged just 14, was rumoured to have been married to ice hockey player Sergei Fedorov, something the tennis star denies.

Married or not, when they split, she reportedly sold him their penthouse in Miami's high-rise Portofino Building and later moved into this home on Sunset Island, right next door to her next and current partner, singer Enrique Iglesias.

Kournikova reportedly paid £3.9 million ($5m) for the eight-bedroom, eight-bathroom oceanview home in 2000. She sold in 2011 for £5.7 million ($7.4m). Not a bad profit!

The pair currently live in this $26 million (£20.1m) waterfront mansion in the same up-market neighbourhood. Originally two plots, they demolished the original buildings and built an enormous 20,000-square-foot (1858sqm) palace in their place, complete with pool, hot tub, jetty and, of course, a tennis court.

Enrique is no stranger to the area. He grew up in the exclusive gated community of Bay Point, just over the water from Sunset Island. His father, Spanish singer Julio Iglesias, owned swathes of land on the super-exclusive Indian Creek island and has since sold much of it to high-profile names.

Anna and Enrique welcomed twins Nicholas and Lucy in 2017, with baby Mary joining in 2020.

From the snapshots of family life they share on social media, it's clear the pair have designed a wonderfully family-friendly home, from a practical yet chic kitchen with stainless steel appliances to a fun-filled playroom for the kids to run riot.

Outside, family life takes priority. The garden has plenty of space to run around in and it's scattered with toys.

The couple has gone to great lengths to keep their young children safe, spending £463,000 ($600k) on baby-proofing the property, according to British newspaper the Daily Mail.

They built a 16-foot (4.8m) wall around the lot and erected barriers that prevent the children from wandering off the lawn towards the swimming pool or waterfront, as we can see in this family snap.

The original bad boy of tennis, John McEnroe was just 21 when he became the world number one in both the men's singles and doubles games.

While he didn't have the sledgehammer force of players like Jimmy Connors and Bjorn Borg, the slight, curly-haired youngster from Flushing, New York, had an intelligent style of play that earned him a place in the record books. Today he has a net worth of around £77 million ($100m).

McEnroe has been on a selling spree lately as he and his rocker wife Patty Smyth make an effort to downsize their considerable portfolio.

In May 2022, McEnroe scored a huge sale on this Malibu Colony beach house which he offloaded for £22.3 million ($29m). It's pictured here (with the green roof, centre) in 1994. Check out that enormous satellite dish!

The sporting legend bought the house at the height of his career in 1984 for less than $2.5 million (around £5.9m/$7.6m today). He made a splash when he put it up for rent in 2017 for £96,200 ($125k) solely for the month of August, as reported by newspaper the Santa Monica Mirror.

Built in 1930, the five-bedroom, six-bathroom home has a large, open-plan living space at its heart that opens out onto an impressive deck with incredible sea views.

McEnroe and Smyth let go of this Southampton estate back in 2017. After buying the 7,500-square foot (697sqm) home for $4.2 million in 1999 (or £6.1m/$7.9m today) they eventually waved it goodbye for £8.7 million ($11.3m).

With two acres (0.8ha), a swimming pool, a hard court and deeded beach access, we bet the idyllic retreat was tough to part with. 

Since retiring from pro tennis in 1992, the seven Grand Slam title winner has taken on multiple roles, including Wimbledon punditry alongside Boris Becker, TV cameos, coaching, charity fundraising and even a brief and successful return to the ATP doubles tour in 2006, aged 47.

Rising like a castle over New York's swanky Upper West Side stands the Beresford building. Completed in 1929, the Renaissance Revival-style residence is topped by three towers. It's in the northeast tower that McEnroe bought a one-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment.

According to the listing, it featured original architectural details, 10-foot (3m) ceilings, herringbone hardwood floors and original steel and glass kitchen cabinets.

Despite its Central Park views, McEnroe sold his home in the Emory Roth-designed building for £2.4 million ($3.1m) in 2013.

In December 2023, McEnroe's former apartment hit the market again, this time for £7.5 million ($9.8m). The sudden jump in price is thanks to the previously bijou one-bed expanding into a roomy four-bedroom, four-bathroom unit.

While the price was cut to £6.6 million ($8.5m) in September 2024, there's no denying the building's desirability; other stars who've called it home include baseball player Alex Rodriguez, comedian Jerry Seinfeld and singer Diana Ross.

Before you think McEnroe "cannot be serious" in offloading such impressive pads, bear in mind he still has a reported two further properties in Malibu, which he bought for a combined total of almost £19.3 million ($25m), as well as his primary home in Manhattan. 

Tennis power couple Andre Agassi and Steffi Graf have racked up some impressive stats between them: 30 Grand Slam titles, more than 20 years of marriage and an estimated £112 million ($145m) combined net worth.

They also own several properties, mostly in Agassi's hometown of Las Vegas. The retired pros have lived in a 9,000-square-foot mansion in the Summerlin area of Vegas for the past decade.

Since 1993 the golden couple of tennis has also owned this luxury home in the gated enclave of Spanish Hills. Spoiler: there's a tennis court!

The pristine sunken hard court is touted in the listing as the very same court on which "eight-time Grand Slam champion and Olympic gold medallist Andre Agassi trained during his professional career", according to the Las Vegas Review Journal. There's also a pool and spa for a post-match soak.

Inside, a set of impressive doors lead into a double-height foyer lined with multiple windows that fill the space with light. A built-in display wall separates the entrance from the airy living area, which features a large chandelier and double-sided glass fireplace.

The airy, mostly-white space feels serene, something Agassi may have appreciated after retiring in 2006.

A sweeping staircase leads to a private suite that the listing describes as a 'master retreat'. A large balcony gives views over the pool to the mountainous horizon beyond.

Although German by birth, Graf, who chalked up 22 Grand Slam wins before she retired in 1999, now considers Las Vegas her home. She and Agassi have raised their two children in Summerlin and Steffi's mother and brother also live in the area.

The property was the home of Agassi's late parents, Mike and Betty, before the Agassi-Grafs sold it for £771,000 ($1m) in 2021. 

Born in Iran, Mike represented his home country as a boxer at the 1948 London Olympics and regularly gave free tennis lessons on this beautiful court well into old age. The home came back on the market in 2024 for a shade under £1.5m ($2m).

French tennis ace Amelie Mauresmo was just 17 when she became the number one junior player in the world in 1996. In 2006 she won the Australian Open and then Wimbledon, the first Frenchwoman to do so in 81 years, and spent much of that year at the top of the world rankings.

Although Amelie lived in Geneva, Switzerland, during the early years of her career, she moved to France's rugged Atlantic coast after she retired from professional tennis in 2009. Let's take a quick tour around her relaxed, family-friendly home...

Mauresmo lives in the small seaside resort of Anglet, close to the famous French surf city of Biarritz, with a collection of dogs and tortoises and her two young children Aaron and Ayla.

As we can see, her home is chic yet cosy and practical, with a relaxed atmosphere, tennis playing on the TV and toys liberally scattered about.

Since retiring, Mauresmo has taken on several new roles. She coached Andy Murray for two years, tried television punditry and in 2021 she became the tournament director for Roland Garros, the French Grand Slam.

While the role requires more time in Paris, Amelie refused to move to the capital from her home in the Basque country, according to news site France info.

And who could blame her? This elegant sitting room looks like the perfect place to unwind after a busy schedule, although the outdoor space is even better...

As we can see from these snapshots, Amelie's children have the run of a large garden complete with a treehouse and a Wimbledon-style umpire's chair.

There's also a beautiful pool area and a large free-standing hammock to while away summer afternoons, as glimpsed in this photo Mauresmo shared of her family as they were enjoying Bastille Day fireworks in 2022.

The former world number one often shares photos of her beautiful garden view, which looks out over Anglet and the ocean beyond. The beachside community boasts 11 renowned surfing spots and a charming promenade backed by a pine forest. 

Amelie has said she doesn't think anything could make her leave her current home and, after decades of travelling around the world on the tennis tour, we can certainly see why.
