Linda Noskova’s 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.
Just over a fortnight ago, Noskova 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 earned her a cheque of $4,830,756 (£3,600,000) and resulted in her skyrocketing to the top.
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.
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.
