Top Female Earning Tennis Player

Naomi Osaka

According to a story posted on Forbes.com on Friday, the 22-year-old player earned $37.4 million from June 1, 2019, to June 1, 2020, from endorsements and prize money, eclipsing Serena Williams ($36 million) in that span.

Forbes said Osaka’s total is a one-year record for a female athlete, topping the previous mark of $29.7 million set by Maria Sharapova in 2015.

She has won about $14.5 million in career prize money, according to the WTA, a little less than half of which was earned in 2019.
