Petra’s professional tennis career began in 2006 and since then she has won 17 WTA titles, including two Wimbledon titles in 2011 and 2014. This 26 year old has earned over $20 million, ranking 13th in careers earnings.
Sabine Lisicki
German tennis player Sabine Lisicki became a professional tennis player back in 2006. Sabin unfortunately never made it to the top level. But things turned around for Sabine in 2013 when she made it to the finals of Wimbledon — hands down one of her best performances, if not the best. Winning 4 WTA titles and earning over $6 million in prize money has contributed to Sabine’s success.
