Raducanu went on to make a fortune in off-court winnings
Victory as Flushing Meadows netted the 19-year-old £2.6m, before earning £15.2m in off-field earnings.
And this despite only reaching the second round of Wimbledon this year.
This came following lucrative deals with companies like British Airways, Dior, Evian, Nike and Tiffany.
This took Raducanu’s total earnings to £17.9million over the past 12 months, a figure that puts her sixth in the list of highest earning tennis stars.
Surprisingly, former world number one Roger Federer tops the list with earnings of £76.6m despite not playing a game for 14 months.
Naomi Osaka was ranked second with earnings of £47.8million, while Serena Williams came third with £29.9million.

Meanwhile, Novak Djokovic has performed well after a mixed year with earnings of £23.1m, although he will now miss this year’s US Open due to his COVID vaccination status.
