Possible, but Tiger is on a whole nuther level of money made in his career. Not to say he can't do it, but those guys are not on the same level.
Borg and Becker were my favorite tennis players. Not great money managers apparently. I think most of these guys kill themselves trying to invest in risky businesses. Like if they are good at tennis business can't be that hard, right? Just put it in the bank and live off the interest for the rest of your life!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is actually quite amazing considering he was Djokovic's coach for like 3 seasons, in which Novak earned over $10m of prize money in each, given a tennis coach would have a base salary + 5% (at least) of winnings + travel and accommodation paid for, means he has burned through a lot of cash. He had a book out last year as well. A few years back he was the "star in a reasonably priced car" and told Clarkson that he had two Mercedes dealerships in Germany. He owned a Mercedes SLS (with the Gullwing doors) and lived in a nice apartment in Wimbledon which would have doubled in price in recent years. Yet if he is bankrupt, man he has some serious problems.
