Jakarta – The tennis player, Iga Swiatek becomes the highest-paid female athlete in 2023. 

The 22-year-old Polish star joins Serena Williams, Maria Sharapova, and Naomi Osaka as the only female tennis players to top Forbes' annual list, which was introduced in 2008.

WTA (Women's Tennis Association) Tour tennis players continue to dominate Forbes' annual list. They constitute nine of the 10 highest-paid female athletes.

As quoted from the WTA site, there's a list: Swiatek (US$ 23.9 million) entered the top 10 with US Open champion Coco Gauff (US$21.7 million) who was in third place, followed by Emmar Raducanu from England (US$15.2 million).

Naomi Osaka (US$ 15 million) is in fifth place, followed by Australian Open champion Aryna Sabalenka (US$14.7 million), Jessica Pegula (US$12.5 million), Venus Williams (US$12.2 million), Elena Rybakina (US$9.5 million), and Leylah Fernandez (US$8.8 million).

The tennis player with the best performance at WTA 2023 Zheng Qinwen (US$ 7.9 million) is also on the Forbes list. 

Likewise, Tunisian tennis player Ons Jabeur ($5.7 million) and Wimbledon champion Marketa Vondrousova ($5.2 million) rounded out the top 20 on Forbes' list of highest-paid female athletes.

Forbes' annual list consists of estimated on-field and off-field earnings.

Off-field income is determined through conversations with industry insiders and reflects money earned annually from sponsorships, licensing, appearances, and memorabilia, as well as income from any businesses in which the athlete is interested.

Earlier this month, American sports media company Sportico released its list of the highest-paid female athletes.
