As Aryna Sabalenka and Elena Rybakina compete at the Australian Open, their financial standings are a focal point.

Her earnings have significantly increased following major Grand Slam victories. Off-court endorsements with Nike and Wilson contribute an estimated two to five million dollars annually to her income.
Elena Rybakina's financial success is also substantial, though less than Sabalenka's. Her career prize money has surpassed $24 million, and her net worth is estimated by Forbes to be between $12-13 million. Key wins, including the 2022 Wimbledon title and the 2023 WTA Final, have boosted her earnings and market value. Rybakina maintains partnerships with athletic brands, though fewer than Sabalenka.
The Australian Open final presents a significant financial opportunity, with the winner to receive over $2 million. Beyond the immediate prize money, the title often leads to increased global recognition and new sponsorship deals, further enhancing the players' long-term financial legacy.
