Aryna Sabalenka has rewritten the record books in 2025, earning $15,008,519 in prize money across the season. This figure surpasses the previous all-time record of $12,385,572 set by Serena Williams in 2013. The Belarusian star’s consistency and dominance across the calendar have placed her at the very top of the WTA’s financial milestones.
Titles and finals across the season
Sabalenka captured four major titles this year—Brisbane, Miami, Madrid, and the US Open—while also reaching five additional finals at the Australian Open, Indian Wells, Stuttgart, Roland Garros, and the WTA Finals in Riyadh. Her campaign included three semifinal appearances and two quarterfinal runs, underscoring her ability to go deep in nearly every tournament she entered.
Breaking Serena’s long-standing record
The previous benchmark belonged to Serena Williams, who amassed $12,385,572 in 2013. Sabalenka’s achievement not only eclipses that figure but also highlights the growing competitiveness and financial rewards in women’s tennis.
