Iga Swiatek surpasses Naomi Osaka with over 21 million dollars in prize money after China Open victory
WTATuesday, 10 October 2023 at 00:00
Poland’s tennis star Iga Swiatek has achieved another milestone in her relatively young career.
The 22-year-old has recently took part in the China Open where she ended up lifting the title after beating Russia’s Liudmila Samsonova in the final in straight sets with a score of 6-2, 6-2.
With that victory, Swiatek has overtaken the former world number one Naomi Osaka in terms of prize money earned.
She earned a whopping $1,324,000 after winning the title and the overall prizemoney went up to $21,514,763.
On the other hand, Osaka, who has won four Grand Slam titles in her career, has earned the prize money worth $21,177,252.
The victory was a much-needed one for Swiatek who has had a mixed year at the highest level.

She started slowly but gained pace in the French Open where she ended up defending her title after beating Czech Republic’s Karolína Muchova in the final with a score of 6–2, 5–7, 6–4.
However, not much went right for her as she ended up losing in the quarterfinal of Wimbledon and was later knocked out of the US Open after suffering a fourth-round defeat to Latvia’s Jelena Ostapenko with a score of 3-6, 6-3, 6-1.
That defeat proved to be the catalyst as she lost the top spot in the WTA rankings to Belarus’ Aryna Sabalenka.
