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.

Grigor Dimitrov has withdrawn from the US Open after suffering a torn chest muscle at Wimbledon.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.

Paula Badosa has withdrawn from the U.S. Open after a back problem that has kept her out of competition since late June. The U.S. Tennis Association announced the withdrawal Friday and said Jil Teichmann will take Badosa’s place in the draw.

Badosa has not played since a first-round loss at Wimbledon on June 30. The U.S. Open singles tournament is scheduled to begin on Aug. 24.

“This decision was incredibly difficult to make,” Badosa wrote on her Instagram story. “Right now I need to focus on my health and recovery so I can return stronger and ready to compete again.” The statement underlined that recovery, rather than rushing back for Flushing Meadows, is the immediate priority.

The 27-year-old Spaniard reached a career-high ranking of No. 2 in 2022 and is currently No. 12. Earlier this year she advanced to the semifinals at the Australian Open, and her best result at the U.S. Open came last year when she reached the quarterfinals.

The U.S. Tennis Association also noted that Alizé Cornet, who retired last year and returned this season, is next in line for a spot in the draw should another withdrawal occur.

Badosa’s absence removes a recent Grand Slam semifinalist and a former top-10 player from the field, altering the draw composition in the weeks before play begins. With the U.S. Open serving as the season’s final major, her decision centers on preserving health and enabling a longer-term return rather than an immediate comeback for the tournament.
