There\u2019s USD$90 million (AUD$138 million) worth of prize money on the line at the 2025 US Open. That\u2019s an increase of 20% from 2024\u2019s $75 million, making it the largest purse in tennis history.<\/p>\n

While the tennis season starts with a pretty deep pot at the Australian Open<\/a> (AUD$96.5 million), the purse at the US Open is on another level. Singles winners will take home USD$5,000,000 (AUD$7,660,000) or more than twice the amount of money they win for winning at the Australian Open (AUD$3,500,000). Proving that it does pay to play at the top of your game, something that Roger Federer, Pete Sampras, and Jimmy Connors have both proven by winning the tournament a record five times each.<\/p>\n

Importantly, prize money for men and women is equal, and has been since the 1970s. That means the winner of both women\u2019s and men\u2019s Singles will earn the same USD$5,000,000, while the winner of the women\u2019s and men\u2019s Doubles will earn less at USD$1,000,000 (AUD$1,530,000) per team. Still, even those that don\u2019t make it out of the Round of 128 will comfortably cover the cost of hiring their private jet. Let\u2019s take a closer look at how much players earn at the 2025 US Open, according to the official information provided by the tournament.<\/p>\n

If you were considering a switch to professional, it might be a tad late. However, the prize money continues to climb at an all-time rate, so it might be time for the kids to pick up a tennis racket. This year, the winner of the US Open will take home $5,000,000 (+38.9% YoY) in both women\u2019s and men\u2019s singles. Even those that make it to the tournament and lace up their shoes will walk home with more than the average salary in Australia<\/a>, pocketing USD$110,000 (+10.0% YoY) for their troubles.<\/p>\n

The focus remains on the Singles at the US Open, but the prize money for the Doubles winners is nothing to sneeze at.

Like Doubles, Mixed Doubles doesn\u2019t draw an enormous crowd at the US Open. Still, the prize money has increased substantially this year, up 400% to $1,000,000, equalling standard Doubles at the tournament. Whether this will be enough to encourage the top players in the tournament to pair up is another question, but we\u2019d love to see a rematch of last year\u2019s Errani\/ Vavassori vs. Young\/ Townsend match.<\/p>\n

Wheelchair tennis was cancelled at the 2024 US Open due to a scheduling conflict with the Paralympics. However, it returns this year with a USD$1.6 million grand prize.<\/p>\n
