Emma Raducanu: US Open victory as a booster for a mega jump in the prize money ranking – only five earned more

According to a list published by Tennis365, Raducanu raked in a total of $ 2.80 million (around 2.5 million euros), of which $ 2.5 million in Flushing Meadows alone.

Before the sensational success at the US Open, she had earned only $ 35,000, according to “Tennis365”.

The Spanish Garbine Muguruza ($ 2.84 million) and Karolina Pliskova from the Czech Republic (2.86 million) are just ahead of the tennis jewel.

Aryna Sabalenka, who made it to the semi-finals in both Wimbledon and the US Open – and triumphed at the Australian Open with her partner Elise Mertens (2.90 million) made it into the top 3 top earners.

Only Krejcikova and Barty crack the three million

Barbora Krejcikova can also look back on an eventful year. The 25-year-old, who had never made it past a Grand Slam round of 16 in her individual career until 2021, won the French Open and advanced to the quarter-finals at the US Open. She also won the doubles title at the French Open. That was reflected in the prize money, Krejcikova totaled a whopping 3.64 million dollars.

The Czech Republic was topped only by Ashleigh Barty. The number one in the world crowned herself the winner at Wimbledon and also won the WTA 1000 events in Miami and Cincinnati. Barty says hello with exactly $ 3,945,182 from the place in the sun.
