Emma Raducanu may have missed a potential £3.6 million payday at Wimbledon, but her off-court earnings have built a colossal net worth of approximately £14 million. The 23-year-old British tennis star withdrew from the tournament on the eve of its start due to a stress fracture in her shin, an injury that also jeopardises her participation in the upcoming US Open.
Wimbledon Prize Money Missed
Had Raducanu competed at Wimbledon, she would have been in contention for a share of the increased £64.2 million prize fund, up from £53.5 million in 2025. The winners of the singles finals now collect £3.6 million each, with runners-up banking £1.8 million. Even advancing through a couple of rounds offers significant financial rewards: second-round losers receive £126,000, while beaten quarter-finalists earn £480,000. Raducanu's withdrawal thus cost her not only potential ranking points but also a substantial boost to her bank balance.
Off-Court Endorsements Drive Wealth
Despite her mixed fortunes since winning the US Open as a teenager in 2021, Raducanu has no money concerns. Her estimated net worth of £14 million is largely built on a string of lucrative off-court endorsements. She is a brand ambassador for Dior, Tiffany & Co, tennis equipment supplier Wilson, Evian, HSBC, and British Airways. She previously had a partnership with Vodafone. According to reports, her on-court earnings total nearly £5 million, including the £1.8 million prize for winning the US Open five years ago. Recent paydays include just over £136,000 for reaching the final of the HSBC Championships at Queen's Club.
Injury and Withdrawal
Raducanu had looked set to play at Wimbledon and addressed the media at the All England Club the day before the tournament began. She said she was planning to take on Antonia Ruzic on Court One the following day, but the situation changed hours later. After being forced to miss her home Grand Slam for the second time in four years, she wrote on Instagram, "I can’t believe I’m saying this, but sadly I've had to withdraw from this year’s Wimbledon. I've done everything possible to try to get to the start line tomorrow but after a final scan tonight, the niggle I've been managing has developed into a stress fracture and I’ve been medically advised to stop pushing through."
She added, "Playing at Wimbledon, in front of a home crowd, means everything to me, so this is really difficult to process. I want to thank you all for your support and encouragement. Especially at a time like this, it is invaluable. I look forward to seeing you when I’m back."
US Open Participation Uncertain
Whether Raducanu will be in contention for a piece of the £64 million prize pot at the US Open, which begins in late August, remains to be seen. She was diagnosed with a stress fracture in her shin, and her fitness is a major concern. Her absence from Wimbledon highlights the ongoing injury struggles that have hampered her career since her stunning Grand Slam triumph in 2021.
