The Polish tennis sensation defeated Jasmine Paolini in straight sets to secure her fourth French Open title on Saturday, pocketing a cool £2million in prize money. This sum now separates Swiatek’s 2024 earnings from the total career wealth of Emma Raducanu.Despite high expectations following her historic US Open victory in 2021, Raducanu’s financial trajectory hasn’t quite hit the mark. In contrast, Swiatek has been soaring as the new darling of women’s tennis. The 23-year-old prodigy has claimed three consecutive titles at Roland Garros,Swiatek’s impressive prize pot for this year alone stands at around £5.3m, eclipsing most professionals’ career winnings. In comparison, 21-year-old Raducanu has earned approximately £3.1m since turning pro in 2018. To further highlight Swiatek’s prowess, she turned professional just two years before Raducanu.
