Over a thousand zlotys a minute. That's how much Iga Świątek earned in the middle of the night.
The Polish tennis player was once again ruthless against the 69th-ranked German Eva Lys. She defeated her 6-2, 6-2, and reached the fourth round of the WTA 1000 tournament . In the fourth round, the Polish tennis player will face Clara Tauson of Denmark. The match lasted just 74 minutes (CET), yet it was still the longest of the three matches played by the two players so far.
Świątek received $23,000, or PLN 85,000, for advancing to the fourth round. This translates to an earnings of PLN 1,150 per minute.
In total, she has already earned $56,700 in the tournament in Montreal this year. Converted to Polish currency, that's PLN 210,000. If she defeats Denmark's Tauson, the Polish tennis player will earn an additional $51,000 for the quarterfinals (PLN 188,000, totaling PLN 398,000).
The winner of the tournament in Montreal will receive $752,000, a staggering 2.78 million złoty. The loser in the final will receive a total of $392,000 (1.45 million złoty), while the losing semifinalists will finish with $206,000 (760,000 złoty).
