Rybakina on tournament earnings: "The efforts of the previous generation are starting to bear fruit"
Elena Rybakina spoke on the topic of tournament earnings. By winning the WTA Finals, the Kazakh player pocketed a little over 5 million dollars.
Asked about this by the media Tengri News, she responded in a broader way about tournament prize money: "I believe our goal is to increase the prize pools of more tournaments. So it's only a matter of time. Within two years, I'm sure other tournaments will follow.
Of course, prize money is very important and I'm extremely happy to have achieved this result (at the WTA Finals). The efforts of the previous generation to increase the prize are finally starting to bear fruit.
It seems to me that everything is moving in the same direction and the situation will stabilize in the future, maybe not in one or two years, but 100% in the future."
