That ranking would have included the more than $4 million Barty earned at Wimbledon when she won her first title on grass, with the original estimated conversion from British pounds to U.S. dollars used in that calculation.

Williams sisters still hold top spots
That record still belongs to Serena Williams with $94,816,730 collected from her 23 Grand Slam singles titles. Her sister Venus, who has turned 45 by her recent return to the game, comes next with $42.673758.

In Global Standings: Polish Players
Like other Polish tennis players, Magda Linette tops the list with career earnings of $7,793,908, making her 104th in the all-time grand slam earnings list. Magdalena Fręch is approaching $4 million; she has earned $3,729,622, and she is holding in 208th place.

The ATP's three highest prize money-winners are Novak Djokovic, who has cashed in more than $188 million in men's tennis, Rafael Nadal at roughly $134.9 million, and Roger Federer with about $130.5 million.

Because there had been two completed rounds of jumping at that time, the judges declared those results final and awarded Poland the silver medal with a total score of 547.3; the country earned its fourth medal of the Olympics in Italy.
