She may have fallen short in her quest to win a second Grand Slam title, but Aryna Sabalenka left New York with two other prizes.
The Belarusian powerhouse cemented her lead in the Wta prize money charts for the 2023 season, banking a cool $1.5 million for her runner-up finish at the US Open last Saturday, taking her season's tally to $7,369,635 in addition to dethroning Iga Swiatek from the World No. 1 ranking .
Sabalenka is also the fourth-highest prize money earner in 2023 across both tours behind leading Atp players Novak Djokovic, Carlos Alcaraz, and Daniil Medvedev. She is on course to become the first Wta player since 2019 to cross the $10 million mark in yearly prize money.
The Wta No. 1 rises a spot above retired player Jelena Jankovic in the career prize money list into 24th spot and within touching distance of the Top 20, having amassed $19,544,545 in her career. Sabalenka is almost $2 million ahead...
