How Much the Winners Will Make

The 2025 US Open is in full swing, with the world’s top tennis players battling it out in New York City for the year’s crown.

This iconic tournament isn’t just about epic rallies — it’s also about epic rewards. The 2025 US Open boasts a staggering $90 million purse — a $15 million increase from 2024 — making it the largest prize pool in tennis history.

Defending champions Jannik Sinner and Aryna Sabalenka have their eyes on the top prize. However, Sabalenka will be challenged by Amanda Anisimova, who has made her second Grand Slam final of the year.

Here’s everything to know about how much the 2025 US Open winners and participants will take home in monetary gains.

How much have US Open winners won in years past?

The prize money at the US Open has seen considerable growth over the years. The US Open’s prize pool has expanded dramatically and more than tripled since 2010, increased fivefold since 2000 and nearly 20-fold since 1990, per Statista.

In 2024, the singles champions took home $3.6 million each, while the runner-ups received $1.8 million. This year’s increase — to $5 million for the winners and $2.5 million for the runners-up — marks a 20% jump.

What tennis tournament has the highest payout?

Thanks to the US Open’s $90 million purse in 2025, the New York tournament currently holds the title for the highest payout in tennis. The other Grand Slam tournaments — Wimbledon, the French Open and the Australian Open — offer substantial prize money as well, but none have reached the US Open’s level this year.

Wimbledon, traditionally seen as the most prestigious tournament, offered a total prize pool of around $52 million (38.8 million GBP) in 2025, while the French Open offered $65.5 million (56.3 million EUR) and the Australian Open offered $62.5 million ($96.5 million AUD).
