How much money has Jessica Pegula earned in her career?
It’s been a tremendous year for the experienced American from Buffalo, as she strives to add more silverware to her collection.
American hopes are riding on, among others, Jessica Pegula in the 2024 US Open, a player who is aiming to achieve something on Wednesday that she has so far not been able to do in her career: reach a Grand Slam semifinal. Unfortunately, she is facing the current world number one, Iga Swiatek, but the Polish player will know that a home crowd can sometimes make all the difference.
Jessica Pegula: wins and earnings
While never having made it to a Slam semi, Pegula has had plenty of success in her tennis career. The 30-year-old is having an impressive 2024, already having added two singles titles to her tally – WTA 500 Berlin Ladies Open and Canadian Open – making it six to date. She also has seven doubles titles to her name. Her ranking in the women’s game ahead of the US Open was 6th, with her highest ever placing coming near the end of 2022 when she reached 3rd.
In terms of prize money – although a family worth billions was never going to mean she struggled to put food on the table – this year alone (prior to totting up her gains in Flushing Meadows) she has collected just shy of two million dollars ($1,921,244). That takes her overall career earnings through prize money to $14,304,673. By reaching the quarterfinals of the US Open she is guaranteed over half a million, and if she was to go on to win the competition she’d pocket a cool $3.6 million.
