Maria Sakkari ended her run at the WTA Finals in the semifinals but left Texas with a hefty cash prize in her pocket.
Maria Sakkari’s run at the WTA Finals ended after her loss to Caroline Garcia in the semifinals. However, she left Texas with a large prize money in her luggage.
The money is calculated differently in the WTA Finals than in other tournaments, as the system is also different.
Each athlete receives 110,000 euros as a participation bonus, while each athlete receives the same amount as a victory bonus for each of their victories in the group phase.
Maria Sakkari secured 440,000 euros from the first part of the tournament alone. Her presence in the semifinals earned her another €30,000, such was her total prize 470,000 euros.
On the other hand, Caroline Garcia secured €860,000 and if she wins the trophy she can claim even more 820,000 euros.
