THE biggest tennis names have landed at Wimbledon for this year’s tournament.
The likes of Novak Djokovic, Rafael Nadal, and Serena Williams all compete in the Grand Slam event.

However, Roger Federer remains in doubt – after missing most of the year due to a knee injury.
Over the years, these successful sports stars have amassed enormous wealth.
And they have squandered their fortunes on some great cars, from electric Teslas to flashy Ferraris.
But who rides what?
Novak Djokovic
The No1 seed has an impressive garage.
The Serb, a six-time Wimbledon winner, is the brand ambassador for Peugeot.
He also owns several electric cars, including a £ 102,000 Tesla Model X.

Djokovic has also been spotted driving an Aston Martin DB9 (£ 200,000), Bentley Continental (£ 172,000) and an Audi R8 (£ 130,000).
While a conservative £ 13,000 Fiat 500 is also in its collection.
Roger Federer
The Swiss legend may not appear at Wimbledon, but he is a legend at SW19.
And because of his brilliance and elegance of court, he is a brand ambassador for Mercedes – which means he has a fleet of them.
Federer is famously the owner of a sunlight-yellow Mercedes AMG GTS (£ 150,000), as well as a G-Wagon (160,000).
In addition to that class of cars, it is also known that he drives a convertible SL AMG (£ 100,000) and an AMG GLE 63 S (£ 126,000).
A Range Rover Sport is also part of its garage.

Serena Williams
Winner of 23 Grand Slams, Williams is the greatest female tennis player ever.
So it is fitting that she has driven a number of jealous engines.
From a £ 150,000 Aston Martin Vanquish to a £ 172,000 Bentley Continental GT, she’s a supplier of beautiful cars.
Her daily car in 2016 was a Mini Cooper (£ 18,000), while being the face of Lincoln, she also has a Navigator that costs £ 63,000.

Rafael Nadal
The Spaniard is sponsored by Kia, so of course he gets his company car – a Stinger GT worth £ 42,000.
But Nadal, who is expecting his first child, raises prices with an Aston Martin DBS (£ 239,000) and an epic Ferrari 458 Italia – a collector’s item that could be worth as much as £ 450,000 in mint condition today.
While like Federer, there is also a Mercedes in its collection – a £ 150,000 AMG GTS.
And that comes to mind with an uplifting tennis ball style.

Andy Murray
The British tennis star passed his driving test and within five months a confident Volkswagen Polo beat for a much more expensive bright red Ferrari 430 that could have set him back £ 117,000 new.
However, he admitted amusingly that he felt like “a bit of a talker” and went with an Aston Martin DB9 – just like James Bond – for £ 200,000 instead.
In 2015, Murray won a £ 125,000 BMW i8 as part of his prize for landing the Munich Open.
He also has a £ 66,000 Jaguar I-Pace, as well as his first car – the Polo – which costs £ 17,000 new.
“I enjoy driving. It was my first car and I’m connected to it,” he said.

Naomi Osaka
Four-time Grand Slam champion Osaka has a highly sought-after engine.
Thanks to sponsors Nissan – she got her hands on a very rare GT-R.
They start at around £ 115,000, and is what Osaka calls their “dream car” – with only 50 existing in the world.
As a brand ambassador, Nissan also had a number of color combinations designed.

Nick Kyrgios
The controversial Aussie is another who has gone the electric route.
Kyrgios also has a £ 102,000 Tesla Model X – like rival Djokovic – in a scandalously bright green color.
A Fast & Furious fan, and former No13 in the world, he also has a 2018 Dodge Challenger SRT Demon (£ 170,000) favored by Vin Diesel in the eighth film of the Hollywood film franchise.
Nick grew up on a massive fan of muscle cars in Canberra.
His brother Christos told The Canberra Times: “Nick always wanted a nice car when he was growing up and tennis gave him that chance.”
