Prize money

[edit]

I'm just curious to know why the season prize money hasn't been updated to reflect Sabalenka's earnings from the Australian Open. Nedhartley (talk) 21:56, 30 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Current Prize Money

[edit]

I was just about to update the prize money section by using this source, but I then realized that WTA is not converting A$ into US$. For example, WTA is showing the prize won by Aryan Sabalenka at A$3,285,00; which is A$135,000 at Brisbane and A$3,150,000. But, ATP who does convert, have Jannik Sinner's prize money from AO win is $2,105,775. So, since we are supposed to be publishing in US$, I don't think the above mentioned source can be used.

The source http://wtafiles.wtatennis.com/pdf/rankings/All_YTD_Prize_Money.pdf is in USD. So the amounts are correct. Sashona (talk) 05:23, 5 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I don't think that is true. I mean just look at the WTA's Aryan's profile, it has listed her YTD Prize money at $2,218,371, which again records the prize money at Brisbane in A$. Also, it shows she has earned $2,083,371 at AO while Jannik has $2,105,775, even though they were given the same prize money. PrinceofPunjab (talk) 05:29, 5 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
They both have earned A$3,150,000 at the AO. Not sure what conversion rate the WTA vs ATP uses but the PDF source is always in USD. If you think there is an error you should contact whoever is in charge of the WTA website. Sashona (talk) 05:42, 5 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I have contacted them and am currently waiting for their reply. Meanwhile, I think we should use the prize money listed on the player's own profiles under the YTD section as the profiles currently seems to have more accurate information. PrinceofPunjab (talk) 05:52, 5 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Here is the prize money they won at the AO. The amounts are in dollars ($): https://www.wtatennis.com/news/3849551/australian-open-2024-draws-dates-prize-money-and-what-you-need-to-know Sashona (talk) 05:57, 5 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Oh my God, how many times I have to repeat myself that those are Australian Dollars that also uses the $ sign, but US$ prize oney is different just see here PrinceofPunjab (talk) 06:04, 5 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Yes that's right. Just a few days ago Sabalenka had YTD2024 $3,285,000 on her WTA profile. Australian dollars are now converted to US$2,218,371. Kacir 12:33, 6 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I understand about the signs, I know it is confusing.
The source http://wtafiles.wtatennis.com/pdf/rankings/All_YTD_Prize_Money.pdf is always in USD. So the amounts look to be correct now as of 12 February 2024. Sashona (talk) 06:46, 13 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
