The champions of this year’s US Open men’s and women’s singles will take home millions in prize money.
As the final grand slam of the year wraps up this weekend, a few players will leave significantly wealthier.
Last year, Coco Gauff and Novak Djokovic enjoyed the spoils, but both suffered surprising early exits this year, marking the end of their title reigns.
New champions will emerge in New York this year, with Jessica Pegula facing Aryna Sabalenka in the women’s final.
In the men’s final, Jannik Sinner will go up against Taylor Fritz.
US Open 2024: Prize Money
The 2024 US Open will feature a record prize money pool.
A total of $75 million will be awarded to players this year, a significant increase from last year’s $65 million.
The champions of the men’s and women’s singles will each receive $3.6 million, up from $3 million last year.
Runners-up will walk away with $1.8 million, while the losing semi-finalists will also earn a remarkable $1 million.
In the doubles events, winners will collect $750,000, and those in mixed doubles will win $200,000.
To put things into perspective, mixed doubles champions will earn less than singles players who reach the last 32.
