The US Open has again shattered the record for the largest prize pool in tennis history. The 2025 edition of the tournament featured $90 million in total money up for grabs, a 20% increase from the $75 million pool over last year’s event.<\/p>\n

The $90 million figure places the US Open well ahead of the prize pools for the three other Grand Slam events.<\/p>\n

The top two players in the game met in the men’s final Sunday afternoon, and Carlos Alcaraz defeated Jannik Sinner to take home the $5 million prize. Sinner will leave New York with $2.5 million for his efforts. With the victory, Alcaraz extends his career record over Sinner to 8-3, and also captured the bragging rights between both men who were meeting in a third consecutive grand slam final. Alcaraz won the first at the French Open before Sinner got his revenge at Wimbledon.<\/p>\n

On the women’s side, Aryna Sabalenka took home the top prize on Saturday<\/a>, defeating American Amanda Anisimova for the championship. Sabalenka’s efforts were rewarded with a $5 million prize for first place. Anisimova, in her second straight grand slam final, earned $2.5 million for her work over the last two weeks. A year ago, Sabalenka earned roughly $3.6 million for her win in the final over American Jessica Pegula.<\/p>\n

On Sunday, the top two men’s players in the world Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz, will battle it out for the same prize amount. The two have dominated the tournament this year — and the previous two grand slams — leading to a third consecutive meeting for a grand slam title. Alcaraz won the first at the French Open before Sinner got his revenge at Wimbledon.<\/p>\n

How much is the US Open payout money?<\/p>\n

The men’s and women’s singles winners this year will take home a prize of $5 million. Reaching the semifinals guarantees a seven-figure payday at $1.26 million.<\/p>\n

Simply reaching the start of the tournament at all is a six-figure payday at $110,000. Anyone who moves on to the Round of 64 receives $154,000, and Round of 32 participants get $237,000.\u00a0<\/p>\n
