Novak Djokovic wants more money

How much is enough? For some there is never too much.

Novak took the opportunity at the Australian Open this week to demand higher wages for players.

This years prize fund for the Australian open is a staggering $55 million.

If you turn up and play 1 game you walk away with $60,000. Lets say every major grand slam tournament had the same prize fund and you played all 4 slams.

In a year you could walk away with $240,000 dollars.

In the USA or Australia you are doing pretty well to earn $100,000 a year.

This guy has the audacity to stand up and demand more money.... for being very good at hitting a ball with a Raquel..... are you serious.

Remember $240,000 is the minimum. Then there are the sponsorship deals, for a few photos, or an advert to say you love wearing $10,000 watches it makes you play tennis better.

I'm not sure how these guys can keep a straight face while saying this stuff, get a reality check.
