Iga Swiatek Ascends to Third Richest Woman in Tennis History Following Wimbledon Triumph

Iga Swiatek Ascends to Third Richest Woman in Tennis History Following Wimbledon Triumph

Iga Swiatek has solidified her status in tennis history by becoming the third-highest-earning female player after her recent triumph at the 2025 Wimbledon Championships. With this victory, she expanded her career earnings to $40,523,198, a remarkable feat at just 24 years old. Before Wimbledon, Swiatek had already been recognized among the top earners, but her latest win catapulted her earnings significantly, adding about $4 million to her total.

In tennis history, Serena Williams holds the record for the highest career earnings at $94,816,730, a formidable lead over her competitors. Venus Williams follows with $42,648,578, a sum that places her at second among female players. Before Wimbledon, Simona Halep and Maria Sharapova occupied the third and fourth spots with earnings of $40,236,618 and $38,777,962 respectively, but both are now retired and unable to increase their totals. Victoria Azarenka’s career earnings amount to $38,532,860, while Petra Kvitova, who is considering retirement, could still add to her $37,454,150 if she competes. Caroline Wozniacki, on the other hand, will conclude her career with a total of $36,441,868.

Swiatek’s impressive earnings milestone is partly attributed to the higher prize money in the sport due to inflation, yet achieving this at a young age is commendable. Her victory at Wimbledon was not only significant for her finances but also for her personal growth as a player. During her post-match press conference, Swiatek reflected on her journey, expressing pride in her accomplishments.

“I’m just proud of myself because, yeah, who would have expected that?” she stated. “I think tennis is a mental sport, but also you need everything to win tournaments, like good tennis, good physicality, and being focused.” She noted the unique challenges of playing in finals, as the pressure can often alter performances.

Reflecting on her Grand Slam titles, Swiatek revealed that the unexpected nature of her Wimbledon victory made it particularly special. “For sure, it feels like the emotions are bigger because on Roland Garros, I know I can play well, and I know I can show it every year. Here, I wasn’t sure of that,” she explained.

As Swiatek prepares for the upcoming Canadian Open in Montreal, she looks to build on her recent success. She has yet to claim a title at this event and aims to become the first Polish woman to win there since Agnieszka Radwanska in 2014. Following a well-deserved break, the world will be watching to see if she can continue her ascent in both earnings and accolades in the sport.
