How much did Karolina Pliskova earn at the Tournament of Champions?

Although Karolina Pliskova did not win a single tournament in the 2021 season, she made it to the famous Tournament of Champions without much difficulty. In Guadalajara, Mexico, she dropped out in the group, but still managed to earn a lot of money.

During 2021, Karolina Pliskova won 35 matches on the WTA circuit. If we don’t take into account the previous year, which was largely affected by the coronavirus pandemic, this is the lowest number since 2013.

Nevertheless, he evaluates the past season positively. This is mainly due to her participation in the Wimbledon final, where she fell to world number one Ashleigh Barty after 3::6, 7::6 and 3::6 sets. However, we must not forget the quarterfinals of the US Open.

Thanks to her excellent results at Grand Slam tournaments, the twenty-nine-year-old native of Louny made it to the final Tournament of Champions without any major difficulties. There she faced Muguruza, Kontaveit and compatriot Krejcikova.

Although Pliskova won two matches in the group, it was not enough to advance to the semi-finals due to a worse set ratio. Of course, we have to take into account the fact that the conditions there were not entirely favourable for the ward of coach Sascha Bajin.

“Considering that I didn’t feel good for one day here, this is the hardest tournament I’ve played. Normally some days are bad, the next one is better, but here nothing was better at all. That’s why I’m proud of myself for the two wins,” she said.

And how much did Pliskova actually earn during her stay in Mexico? Thanks to two wins and one loss, she earned 330 thousand dollars, which is almost seven and a half million in Czech crowns. In addition to that, she added 625 points to the WTA ranking.
