One of the most hallowed venues in the world of tennis, Wimbledon got a new queen in Barbora Krejčíková in 2024. The ‘unlikely champion’, as dubbed by many, defeated seventh seed Jasmine Paolini on 13 July to lift the coveted title.
This latest addition to tennis’ ‘David vs Goliath’ tales further highlighted the high standards of competition seen in women’s tennis. While the men’s game has been dominated by a handful in recent times, Krejčíková became the eighth women’s champion at Wimbledon in as many years.
Krejčíková’s win also cemented the Czech Republic’s position as a breeding ground for some of the best talents in the tennis fraternity. She became the fifth Czech woman overall to win at the All England Club following Martina Navratilova, Jana Novotná, Petra Kvitová and Markéta Vondroušová.
The win provided a significant boost to Barbora Krejčíková’s position on the WTA rankings. According to the latest data released on 15 July 2024, she stood at the 10th spot. Meanwhile, Iga Świątek remained at the top of the rankings even after her poor form in Wimbledon 2024 which saw her crash out in the third round.
However, it is not just her ranking that saw a major bump — the Czech tennis star pocketed a significant sum for winning the Wimbledon 2024. So, on that note, let’s take a look at the net worth of Barbora Krejčíková, her salary, career earnings, house, cars, endorsements and more.
