Emma Raducanu, the 2021 US Open champion and current world No. 38, has amassed approximately £724,000 ($970,000) in prize money during the 2025 season, a figure that has surprised observers given her lack of deep runs in major tournaments, according to The Mirror and Express.co.uk reports from August 7, 2025. Despite early exits at the Australian Open (third round, lost to Iga Świątek, $255,000), Roland Garros (second round, also to Świątek, $140,000), and Wimbledon (third round, to Aryna Sabalenka, $220,000), Raducanu’s earnings reflect her consistent WTA 1000 and 500-level performances. Her standout result came at the Citi DC Open, where she reached the singles semifinal, earning $71,205, and the doubles quarterfinals with Elena Rybakina, adding $11,550, totaling $82,755 for the event, per tennis365.com.
Additional contributions include a Miami Open quarterfinal ($101,000), an Italian Open last-16 run ($52,000), and a Queen’s Club quarterfinal ($39,000), per WTA prize money data. Her 23-16 season record, with wins over top-10 players Jessica Pegula and Maria Sakkari, has kept her earnings robust despite a 6-2, 6-1 loss to Amanda Anisimova in Montreal. Off-court, Raducanu’s marketability remains strong, with sponsorships from Nike, HSBC, and Dior pushing her career earnings past £10 million, though her 2025 prize money alone falls short of seven figures, per Daily Mail.
Raducanu’s focus is on climbing from No. 38 to secure a top-32 US Open seeding, requiring at least a Cincinnati Open round-of-16 run (120 points) or quarterfinal (215 points). A potential US Open title could net £3.9 million ($5 million), a significant jump from her 2021 £1.8 million prize, per Daily Mail. With new coach Francisco Roig, praised by Feliciano Lopez for technical expertise, Raducanu aims to refine her serve and consistency for her tough Cincinnati draw, starting against Olga Danilović or Katie Boulter, with a possible Aryna Sabalenka clash looming. Her US Open mixed doubles pairing with Carlos Alcaraz adds intrigue, but her surprising 2025 earnings highlight her resilience and potential for a Flushing Meadows resurgence.
