On the WTA side, Aryna Sabalenka has remained No. 1 (so far) even while not having her best year. She hasn't yet won a major, for instance. She also has a lot of pressure in New York. She has reached the final of the US Open in the last three years, and won the major in the last two.

Still, $5.5 million is a lot for the winner, and even if one loses in the final, they will still take home a chunk of change. All that money has to be split up between the player and their teams and travel as well, of course.
