In just three months, Chinese Taipei’s Women’s Singles superstar Tai Tzu Ying’s earnings have shot past the US$100,000 mark, thanks to lucrative title victories at the Yonex All England and the Daihatsu Indonesia Masters.
Tai (featured image) is currently the highest earner among all players this year, with US$109,550 from three tournaments of the HSBC BWF World Tour. Tai is way ahead of the second-highest earner in Women’s Singles – Japan’s Akane Yamaguchi – who has earned US$50,325.
China’s Shi Yuqi, who won the All England Men’s Singles crown, has nearly hit the US $ 100,000 mark – he is currently at US$98,425. The man he beat in the All England final, Lin Dan, is some way behind (US$35,900) at No.2.
