Count tennis champion Serena Williams among those who have lost money in wake of last month’s Brexit vote.

Williams beat Angelique Kerber 7-5, 6-3 in Saturday’s Wimbledon final, her 22nd major title, tied with Steffi Graf for most in the Open Era. The winner’s prize is worth $2.59 million when converted to U.S. dollars, about $380,000 less than it was worth a few days before the tournament, on the eve of the U.K.’s vote to leave the European Union.

The men’s and women’s Wimbledon champions this year will each receive a record prize of 2 million pounds. On June 23, four days before the tournament began, that was worth $2.97 million. Since the vote, the pound h

as plummeted to its lowest level against the dollar in 30 years.
