At only 24 years old, Iga Swiatek has achieved what few imagined possible — overtaking Venus Williams to become the second-highest earner in WTA history. The Polish sensation’s meteoric rise continues, marking another landmark moment in her already glittering career.
Swiatek’s 2025 season has been a showcase of dominance. With 61 wins in 76 matches and multiple titles added to her résumé, she now stands behind only Serena Williams on the all-time prize money list — an extraordinary feat for a player still in her mid-twenties.

A Remarkable Climb to the Top
Serena Williams’ record remains a towering benchmark, but Swiatek is closing in fast. Her raw tennis talent propelled her to a collection of titles — and now to second place on one of tennis’s most prestigious lists.
Her triumphs this season include Wimbledon 2025, where she crushed Amanda Anisimova 6-0, 6-0 — becoming the first woman in more than a century to win a final there without losing a game. She also lifted trophies at the Korea Open and Cincinnati Open, defeating Jasmine Paolini in another dominant display.
A Legacy in Motion
Swiatek’s six Grand Slam titles — four at the French Open (2020, 2022, 2023, 2024), one at the US Open (2022), and her recent Wimbledon crown (2025) — have defined her as a modern great.
Now, with her earnings climbing and her game at its peak, Swiatek’s rise shows no sign of slowing down. At just 24, this isn’t just another payday — it’s proof she’s building something lasting.
