Emma Raducanu is Britain's No. 1 women's tennis player, but she is still a long way off British record holder Johanna Konta. Raducanu, 23, shot to fame in 2021 when she shocked the world by winning the US Open.
She became the first female, British US Open winner since Virginia Wade in 1968 when she saw off Leylah Fernandez in straight sets. Her career has not been easy, with injuries blighting her time on the courtas well as multiple changes of coaches. Nevertheless, there have also been many highs including climbing all the way up to No. 10 in the summer of 2022. While she is already a history maker for British women's tennis, Raducanu still has two countrywoman to overtake in the earnings table.

Over the course of her career, Raducanu has raked in winnings of $5,957,378 (£4,414,268.16). In terms of the all-time career earnings list in British women's tennis, she is third in the table.
Slightly ahead of her is former British No. 1 and ex-World No. 38 Heather Watson. As a singles player, her best achievement was reaching the fourth round of Wimbledon in 2022, as well as winning four singles titles on tour.
But the bulk of her success has come in the mixed doubles, which saw her win the mixed event at SW19 in 2017 while playing alongside Henri Kontinen, before finishing runner-up one year later. However, from an earnings perspective, Konta is still on a court of her own.
She may have retired in December 2021 at the age of 30, but she still had time to amass $10,008,175 (£7,415,807.47) in winnings. Konta was as high as No. 4 in the WTA rankings in 2017, year where she won four singles titles and five runners-up trophies.
In 2016, she cracked the $2m mark after reaching the semi-final of the Australian Open, before repeating the feat when she got all the way to the last four of the French Open in 2019. However, her best campaign for prize money was in 2017.
She won the Miami Open title and collected a check for $1,175,505 (£871,019.82) and the semi-final of Wimbledon, which saw her scoop up just over £500,000 in prize money. She walked away from tennis in in 2021, stating she had simply "ran out of steam".
On social media, she posted: "Through my own resilience and through the guidance of others, I got to live my dreams. I got to become what I wanted and said as a child. How incredibly fortunate I count myself to be."
