Elena Rybakina ended her season in the best way possible. On November 8th in Riyadh, she beat world No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka 6-3, 7-6(0) to win the WTA Finals. Imagine she is the same athlete who almost didn’t make it to the tournament, yet in the finals, she fought through shoulder problems and won every match. But wait… her victory didn’t just earn her another trophy; it made history in its own way.
Yes, well, Rybakina won $5.235 million , the largest amount in the history of women’s sports. However, the athlete doesn’t have the privilege to retain all the money. Their home pay is determined by the location they reside in and the location where the event occurs. Now, the question arises: how much of that does Elena Rybakin get to keep?
