It has been a very successful year in Polish tennis. Hubert Hurkacz appeared in the ATP Finals, and Iga Świątek joined the WTA Finals. These are tournaments in which the best players in the world play at the end of the season. The Poles did not win anything in it, but the performance itself was a great honor for them.
Very good results also mean big profits. In terms of money raised from courts in 2021, Hurkacz is the ninth tennis player in the world.
The 24-year-old earned $2,313,289 in recent months, which is more than PLN 9.6 million. This is a great result, but it pales in comparison to the financial rating winner, Novak Djokovic. The Serbs received $9.1 million.
Swiatek, in turn, this year earned $ 1,923,151, which is just over 8 million PLN. In this regard, she is the eleventh tennis player in the world. Ashleigh Barty got the biggest profit with $3.9 million.
In 2021, Hurkacz won the ATP Championships at Delray Beach, Miami, and the Metz. He also reached the semi-finals of Wimbledon. Swiatek, in turn, was the best in Adelaide and Rome, and in the Grand Slam tournaments, she achieved the best result at Roland Garros, where she was eliminated in the quarter-finals.
