Sabalenka’s tiny fine amid US Open prize money tax hit for stars

Aryna Sabalenka was fined US$7,500 for racquet abuse after the US Open final, a small fraction of her US$2.8 million runner-up prize (about US$1.5 million after local taxes). Separately, the US Open champions—Alexander Zverev and Elena Rybakina—are set to lose about US$5 million in combined prize money due to taxation, with each ending up around US$3 million after tax (Zverev’s Monaco residence shields him from further taxes and Rybakina’s Kazakh status may reduce double taxation).

Chanda Rubin criticized Aryna Sabalenka's behavior after her US Open final defeat to Elena Rybakina, calling her reaction 'bratty' for smashing a racket and rushing to her team instead of accepting the loss. Rubin argues she needs to learn to control herself in defeat, despite Sabalenka's hunger to win and her former world No. 1 status. The piece also notes tennis's tradition of runner-up speeches and the broader debate over post-final conduct.
