Coco Gauff has enjoyed incredible success in 2023. The American teenager has announced herself to the world with world-class performances and results. Gauff, who burst on to the tennis scene as a 17-year-old at the French Open in 2021, has been constantly labelled as a future prospect. However, the American has added consistency to her performances and taken the next step in her career.
Coco Gauff had a disappointing first half of the season. The American was knocked out of the Wimbledon 2021 Championships as well in the women’s singles competition, leaving her season under a big cloud of doubt. However, Gauff turned her fortunes around at the American leg of the season.
The 19-year-old won the Cincinnati Masters, while getting her first-ever win against World No.1, Iga Swiatek, under the belt. Then, the American followed it up by winning the US Open in front of her home fans to win her first-ever Grand Slam title. The introduction of Brad Gilbert did wonders to the American as the duo managed to work well together and get the necessary results.
Now, with great success, the American is enjoying great rewards as well. Coco Gauff is now the world’s highest paid female athlete, earning $22.7 million last year. Gauff earned $6,669,622 in prize money in 2023. While a part of this amount has been due to the prize money from tournaments, big percent is down to brand endorsements and sponsorships.
While Gauff has topped the list, Iga Swiatek is the close second. The top 10 list is dominated by tennis stars, with seven of the ten belonging to one sport. Emma Raducanu, Naomi Osaka, Aryna Sabalenka, Elena Rybakina and Jessica Pegula complete the tennis representation in the top 10 list.
