History will be made at the US Open this summer – with the tournament offering the biggest prize money purse in tennis history.

Across the event, a staggering total of $75 million will be up for grabs, with the men’s and women’s singles winners set to take home $3.6 million for their exploits.

The package offered by the USTA – which sees significant increases across the singles, doubles, and mixed draw, as well as a special payout for wheelchair players – is extraordinary.

However, there have been significant increases at all four majors this year, with big money also up for grabs at the Australian Open, French Open, and Wimbledon.

Here, we look at the singles prize money all four Slams were offering this year – converting all prize money packages into US Dollars.

Key Comparisons

Starting in less than three weeks, the US Open offers by far and away the biggest prize money payout this season.

Alongside the champions earning close to $4 million, the defeated finalist will earn an impressive $1.8 million, while reaching the semi-final will earn you $1 million – the first time in tennis history that threshold has been met.

There will also be a payout of $100,000 for players who are beaten in round one, well clear of the three Slams that have been and gone in 2024.

The Australian Open is next best for round one prize money, offering $80,220, while the French Open handed out $79,344 and Wimbledon offered $75,870.

Interestingly, despite offering less for rounds one and two than the first two majors of the year, Wimbledon then offers more prize money from round three onwards – only beaten by Flushing Meadows.

Carlos Alcaraz and Barbora Krejcikova earned $3,414,150 for their respective men’s and singles victories last month, with finalists Novak Djokovic and Jasmine Paolini receiving $1,770,300.

Australian Open champions Jannik Sinner and Aryna Sabalenka earned $2,105,775 in Melbourne this January, while Alcaraz and Iga Swiatek won $2,608,560 as a result of their Roland Garros triumphs.

The Australian Open offered the least prize money from round three onwards, though a significant increase is likely ahead of 2025.
