But now that their prize money cheques have dropped, there’s even more reason for both of them to be celebrating.

First of all, Gauff surpasses $20 million in career prize money.

The 2023 US Open champion came into the tournament with $16,776,989, and with her record-setting winner’s cheque of $4,805,000, she soars past that milestone to $21,581,989.

The 20-year-old American is the fourth tennis player born in the 2000s, male or female, to reach that career prize money milestone, and the first born in 2004 or later to do it.

Meanwhile, Sabalenka surpasses $30 million in career prize money.

The world No. 1 came into the tournament with $29,071,823, and by reaching the semifinals with a 2-1 record in the round-robin stage she earned $1,035,000, bumping her up to $30,106,823.

She’s the 10th player in WTA history to hit $30 million.
