Emma Raducanu's earnings revealed as star makes Forbes' world tennis rich list

The world's top 10 highest-paid tennis stars have collectively earned more than $316m over the past year, both on and off the court.

British tennis sensation Emma Raducanu has been listed as one of the world's highest-paid players of 2022.

The US Open champion, 19, earned $21.1m (£17.9m) over the past year and has made her debut on Forbes' tennis earnings leader board.

The list features the top 10 highest-paid tennis players, who have collectively earned $316m (£267.5m) over the past year, both on and off-court.

Raducanu, who shot to fame in 2021 when she became the first qualifier in the open era to secure a Grand Slam title, was ranked sixth.

She earned $3.1m (£2.6m) on court and $18m (£15.2m) off court.

Since her win last year, Raducanu has signed endorsement deals with big companies including British Airways, Dior, Evian, Nike and Tiffany.

Despite losing in the second round at Wimbledon this summer, this month Raducanu thrashed Serena Williams in their first meeting, winning 6-4, 6-0 in the first round at the Western and Southern Open in Cincinnati.

Before her win at the US Open, Raducanu was ranked 150th in the world.

Williams, who has announced her plans to retire from the sport, was placed third with $35.1m, followed by Spain's Rafael Nadal with $31.4m and Novak Djokovic with $27.1m.
