WTA domination: 7 out of the top 10 highest-paid female athletes in 2022 are tennis players

Tennis is one of the few sports where female athletes are paid handsomely – here is the list of highest-paid female athletes in 2022

On the tennis court, Poland’s Iga Swiatek made the headlines by bagging as many as 8 titles. This includes her second win at the French Open and first at the US Open. Others like Ons Jabeur, Caroline Garcia, and Elena Rybakina also impressed every now and then.

While these tennis aces earned millions of dollars in prize money, there were others like Naomi Osaka and Serena Williams, who earned big moolahs thanks to their lucrative endorsements.

7 among the top 10 highest-paid athletes are tennis players for the year 2022. 4-time Grand Slam champion Naomi Osaka tops the list. She might not have won any trophies in 2022, but the sponsorships and endorsements have helped her get to the pinnacle of the list followed by the legendary Serena Williams. The American athlete also didn’t play too much tennis in 2022. She played in just five tournaments. However, that didn’t stop her from ending second on the list. 2021 US Open champion Emma Raducanu is third on the list.

Other tennis players who made the top 10 are Iga Swiatek, Coco Gauff, Ashleigh Barty, and Leylah Fernandez.

Let’s take a look at the entire list of highest-paid female athletes
