Iga Swiatek has won her maiden Cincinnati Open title after easing to a two-set win over Jasmine Paolini in the final and with it came a points tally boost and a nice cheque.<\/p>\n
Playing in her 13th WTA 1000 final, Swiatek<\/a> won her 11th trophy at this level and first in Ohio as she defeated her Italian opponent 7-5, 6-4<\/a>.<\/p>\n The Pole has now won titles at eight of the 10 WTA 1000 events with only the Dubai Championships and China Open missing from her already crowded CV.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s nice to check off the list another tournament on the season, one I haven\u2019t won,\u201d she said. \u201cIt\u2019s a great motivation to push forward.\u201d<\/p>\n After struggling during the first half of the season as she failed to win any titles, the 24-year-old ended her drought in brilliant fashion as she won her first Wimbledon crown to take her Grand Slam tally to six.<\/p>\n Swiatek added: \u201cIf I would have to point to two tournaments that would be the hardest ones to win, it would be Wimbledon and Cincinnati, so I\u2019m even more happy. It\u2019s kind of proved that the greatest moments will probably come when you least expect them.\u201d<\/p>\n Paolini<\/a> was looking to win her third WTA 1000 trophy and second of the year following her success at her home event in Rome<\/a> in June, but for now she stays on two titles, having also won the 2024 Dubai event.<\/p>\n \u201cWhen the rallies were going, I felt good on the court. The serves were the difference. When she needed an ace, she hit an ace,\u201d the Italian said.<\/p>\n \u201cIt was definitely a positive tournament for me. It wasn\u2019t enough, of course. I just need to improve.\u201d<\/p>\n WTA 1000 winners earn 1,000 ranking points, but they also have to defend points they earned from the corresponding period 12 months ago as the WTA Rankings are based on a rolling 52-week, cumulative system.<\/p>\n The good news for Swiatek is that she didn\u2019t have any points to defend from 2024 as she lost her 390 points and prize money from her semi-final run last year following her failed drug test during the tournament.<\/p>\n That means she added the full 1,000 points to her current rankings tally and, as a result, returned to No 2 in the rankings as she moved ahead of Coco Gauff with Aryna Sabalenka still at No 1.<\/p>\n Iga Swiatek gets bold greatness verdict and Grand Slam prediction from legendary coach<\/a><\/p>\n Former world No 1 claims Iga Swiatek has had an unfair advantage at Cincinnati Open<\/a><\/p>\n Paolini lost in the third round 12 months ago, so she 530 points (650 for reaching the final minus 120 from 2024) and she also moves one place up in the rankings to No 8 with Amanda Anisimova dropping one spot.<\/p>\n Having earned $4,069,500 for winning Wimbledon just over a month ago, Swiatek has added another $752,275 to her bank balance with her latest title.<\/p>\n The six-time Grand Slam winner has taken her earnings for the 2025 season to $8,207,057 while she now sits on US$41,349,048 in terms of career prize money, which puts her third behind Serena Williams and Venus Williams on the all-time list.<\/p>\n Paolini received $391,600 for finishing runner-up as she moved to $3,788,147 for the current season, bringing her overall total to $12,258,134. The Italian sits 56th in the all-time list.<\/p>\n The post How many points and how much prize money did Iga Swiatek and Jasmine Paolini earn at Cincinnati Open?<\/a> appeared first on Tennis365<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Iga Swiatek has won her maiden Cincinnati Open title after easing to a two-set win over Jasmine Paolini in the final and with it came a points tally boost and a nice cheque.
