Iga Świątek’s triumph at Wimbledon produced a clear financial milestone as much as a sporting one. The six-time Grand Slam winner moved to $40,596,773 in career prize money after collecting the 2025 singles winner’s cheque of £3,000,000 ($4,069,500) at SW19. She was No 8 on the all-time list before the grass-court major; the Wimbledon payoff has propelled her to No 3 and placed Venus Williams within reach.

Swiatek was the last woman standing as she defeated first-time major finalist Amanda Anisimova 6-0, 6-0 to win her first title at SW19. The 24-year-old has accumulated $7,454,782 in earnings for the 2025 season so far and, with several large events remaining, could yet surpass $10m for the year.

Her earnings trajectory has been steep. In 2019 she earned “only” $633,807, and the following year she broke the $1m mark, thanks to her Roland Garros title run $2,261,213. In 2021 she made $1,923,151. Swiatek’s best season came in 2022 when she made $9,875,525; she followed with $9,857,686 and $8,550,693 in the next two years.

On the all-time WTA list Swiatek sits behind Serena Williams, who leads on $94,816,730, and Venus Williams, on $42,673,594. Simona Halep is the only other player to have passed $40m, at $40,236,618. The top-10 list also includes Maria Sharapova, Victoria Azarenka, Petra Kvitová, Aryna Sabalenka, Caroline Wozniacki and Angelique Kerber with the amounts noted in the standings.

Practical opportunities remain for further movement. The US Open guarantees $2,500,000 for finalists and $5,000,000 for the champion, sums that could lift Swiatek past Venus if she reaches the final. If she surpasses $10m for 2025, she would become only the fourth woman to record a season above that mark, joining the seasons listed for Serena Williams, Ashleigh Barty and Angelique Kerber in the draft’s figures.

Jack Draper has confirmed he will be fit to compete at the US Open after a spell on the sidelines with an arm injury. He has not hit a ball since his second-round defeat at Wimbledon against Marin Cilic more than a month ago, and his absence from Toronto and Cincinnati Masters hampered his preparations ahead of the final Grand Slam of 2025. Draper told the LTA that his injury issues are behind him and that he is preparing to fly to America to compete in New York.

“I found out I had an injury in my arm, which I had been playing with for a little while,” Draper said.

“The doctors and my team advised me that I’d need to take some time out. I had a few days off, so I chilled and took my mind off tennis. Then I was really motivated to come back and do a really good fitness block and work myself hard physically to make some good gains.

“I got back to my tennis slowly to protect my arm, but it’s been a really productive few weeks now. It was disappointing to miss Toronto and Cincinnati, but I think it’s been a good period for me to reflect on things and improve.

“I’m really looking forward to going out to the US Open, and I’m in a great place personally and tennis-wise. I feel refreshed, motivated, and I can’t wait to get back out there.”

The British No 1 will arrive in New York defending significant ranking points after his breakthrough run to the semi-finals at the US Open last year. His victory at the Indian Wells Masters in March remains the clearest recent evidence of his comfort on fast hard courts, and if his arm is fully recovered he will be a threat once more at the season’s final major.

“Last year’s US Open was amazing – I reflect on it with really positive memories. It gave me so much confidence and set me up for what was to come for the rest of the year and also the start of this year,” he added.

“Pushing through five best-of-five set matches, against the best players in the world on the biggest stages – that just gives me so much belief. It was a big moment for me and probably one of the biggest in my career so far.

“For me, the atmosphere is the best at the US Open. I love the crowd dynamic, the rowdiness, and I just really enjoy the surroundings and what it brings. It’s a lively, energetic crowd, and that gets the best out of me for sure.”

Grigor Dimitrov has withdrawn from the US Open after suffering a torn chest muscle at Wimbledon. The 34-year-old Bulgarian, a three-time Grand Slam semifinalist, was forced to quit his July 7 match against Jannik Sinner after taking the opening two sets and sustaining the injury in the third.

The withdrawal continues an unbroken sequence of incomplete Grand Slam appearances for Dimitrov. The Wimbledon exit marked the fifth consecutive Grand Slam in which he did not finish a match. That sequence includes the Australian Open in January and the French Open in May of this season, as well as last year’s Wimbledon and US Open.

A year ago at Flushing Meadows, Dimitrov stopped while trailing 6-3, 6-7 (5), 6-3, 4-1 against Frances Tiafoe in the quarterfinals. His best Grand Slam results remain semifinals at the US Open in 2019, the Australian Open in 2017, and Wimbledon in 2014.

Dimitrov reached a career-high ranking of No. 3 and is currently ranked No. 21. Organizers confirmed that Alejandro Tabilo will move into the men’s singles draw in Dimitrov’s place. The US Open men’s singles bracket begins play on Aug. 24.

The withdrawal reduces the field and hands a late opportunity to Tabilo, while marking a notable and unfortunate run of interrupted major campaigns for one of the tour’s long-standing performers.
