She remained in the top 10 from January 27, 2014 (the year she appeared in the top ten) to August 8, 2021, spending a total of 373 consecutive weeks there. In August 2022, due to a failed doping test, she was suspended from activity and subsequently banned for four years in September 2023. With an income of over 39 million dollars, she is the third tennis player to have earned the most from the prize money offered by the Women's Tennis Association, behind only the Williams sisters.
