massive Wimbledon cheque has seen her surge past the likes of Mirra Andreeva and Aryna Sabalenka to become the new No 1 on the 2026 WTA prize money list.<\/p>\n<p>Just over a fortnight ago, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tag\/linda-noskova\">Noskova<\/a> was well outside the top 10 earners this season as she had earned $1,194,953 for the year, but her title run at Wimbledon <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/facts-stats\/linda-noskova-karolina-muchovas-prize-money-ranking-points-wimbledon-final\">earned her a cheque of $4,830,756 (\u00a33,600,000)<\/a> and resulted in her skyrocketing to the top.<\/p>\n<p>The usual big names like Sabalenka, Elena Rybakina and Coco Gauff all feature highly while six-time Grand Slam winner Iga Swiatek finds herself at a lowly No 10 with half of the season already gone.<\/p>\n<p>Thirty-four WTA stars have already passed the $1,000,000 mark so far in 2026 with Xinyu Wang coming in at No 34 with a total of $1,015,385 with $911,899 coming from singles and $103,486 from doubles while French Open semi-finalist Diana Shnaider ($2,048,137) is one of 13 players to earn more than $2m.<\/p>\n<h2>Top 10 WTA Prize Money Earners In 2026<\/h2>\n<h2>10. Iga Swiatek \u2013 $2,246,059<\/h2>\n<p>It has been a tough season for Swiatek as she is yet to reach a final in 2026, with her best performance at the Grand Slams a run to the quarter-final at the Australian Open while she also reached the semi-final of the Italian Open.<\/p>\n<h2>Tennis Features<\/h2>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tennis-news\/jannik-sinner-linda-noskova-wont-keep-3-6m-wimbledon-prize-money-heres-why\">Jannik Sinner and Linda Noskova won\u2019t keep a lot of their \u00a33.6m Wimbledon prize money \u2013 here\u2019s why<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tennis-features\/richest-tennis-players-family-net-worth-arthur-fery-vs-jessica-pegula-vs-emma-navarro\">Richest tennis players family net worth: Arthur Fery vs Jessica Pegula vs Emma Navarro<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The six-time Grand Slam winner earned $10,112,532 in 2025, $8,550,693 in 2024, $9,857,68 in 2023 and $9,875,525 in 2022, but it will be a tough ask to crack those big figures again this year.<\/p>\n<h2>9. Jessica Pegula \u2013 $3,465,949<\/h2>\n<p>The American has won two titles this year, the Dubai Tennis Championships and the Charleston Open, while she also finished runner-up at the German Open.<\/p>\n<p>As for the Grand Slams, she was a semi-finalist at Melbourne Park and made it to the quarter-finals at Wimbledon.<\/p>\n<p>Pegula is 18th on the all-time list with $25,333,584, but could finish inside the top-10 by the time she hangs up her racket.<\/p>\n<h2>8. Marta Kostyuk \u2013 $3,506,707<\/h2>\n<p>The Ukrainian is enjoying her best-ever season on the WTA Tour as she won the Madrid Open, collecting \u20ac1,007,165 ($1,186,883) and also reached the semi-final of the French Open ($876,465) and Wimbledon ($1,207,689).<\/p>\n<p>The 24-year-old\u2019s career earnings have increased to $10,363,929 in recent months.<\/p>\n<h2>7. Elina Svitolina \u2013 $3,547,885<\/h2>\n<p>The former world No 3 won the Italian Open in May and was rewarded \u20ac1,007,165 ($1,177,910) for her efforts while she also collected the Auckland Open title at the start of the year.<\/p>\n<p>Svitolina \u2013 who is 12th on the all-time earnings list with $29m \u2013 was also a runner-up in Dubai and made it to the semi-finals of the Australian Open and French Open.<\/p>\n<h2>6. Coco Gauff \u2013 $4,110,431<\/h2>\n<p>The two-time Grand Slam winner hasn\u2019t won a title so far in 2026, but she has been a consistent performer as she was a finalist at the Miami Open ($612,340) and Italian Open ($626,383).<\/p>\n<p>Gauff also earned $1,207,689 (\u00a3900,000) for reaching the semi-final at Wimbledon and she has entered the top 10 of the all-time list with $33,869,552.<\/p>\n<h2>5.

Elena Rybakina \u2013 $4,660,205<\/h2>\n<p>The reigning Australian Open champion is currently at No 13 on the all-time earnings list with $29m and the bulk of her 2026 total has come from her Melbourne Park title run when she received a cheque of $2,793,365.<\/p>\n<p>Rybakina also won the Stuttgart Open and was a finalist at the Indian Wells Open.<\/p>\n<h2>3. Aryna Sabalenka \u2013 $5,083,826<\/h2>\n<p>The world No 1 dominated the list during the Sunshine Double as she won both the Indian Wells Open ($1,151,380) and Miami Open ($1,151,380) to go with the $1,447,165 she received for finishing runner-up at the Australian Open.<\/p>\n<p>But she has been overtaken by Mirra Andreeva and Linda Noskova in recent months.<\/p>\n<p>Sabalenka is second on the all-time list behind Serena Williams with $50,259,447, just under $5m ahead of Swiatek.<\/p>\n<h2>2. Mirra Andreeva \u2013 $5,580,118<\/h2>\n<p>Aged just 19, Andreeva has already collected $12,938,433 in career prize money with her biggest cheque in 2026 coming from her <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tennis-features\/mirra-andreeva-maja-chwalinskas-prize-money-ranking-points-french-open-final\">French Open title run when she earned $3,272,137<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The teenager also won the Adelaide Open and Linz Open this year while her run to the Madrid Open final was worth $631,154.<\/p>\n<h2>1. Linda Noskova \u2013 $6,025,709<\/h2>\n<p>The Wimbledon champion has surged to the top of the list on the back of earning $4,830,756 for her title run at the All England Club, which is nearly half of her career earnings of $10,749,051.<\/p>\n<p>The Czech also earned $185,507 for winning the Berlin Open, but that tally is dwarfed by the Wimbledon cheque.<\/p>\n<p>Before 2026, Noskova\u2019s best year for earnings was in 2025 when she collected $2,223,383, but she will comfortably beat that total this year.<\/p>\n<p><!-- Article End --><\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>2026 WTA Prize Money List: Linda Noskova jumps to No 1, Iga Swiatek slips further down Shahida Jacobs 14 Jul 2026 10:53 AM Linda Noskova and Mirra Andreeva Linda Noskova\u2019s massive Wimbledon cheque has seen her surge past the likes of Mirra Andreeva and Aryna Sabalenka to become the new No 1 on the 2026 [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[226,249],"class_list":["post-2042543","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized","tag-crawlmanager","tag-tennis365-com"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2042543","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=2042543"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2042543\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=2042543"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=2042543"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=2042543"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
