The most lucrative top-level tennis tournament on the ATP/WTA calendar is the US Open at Flushing Meadows in New York City, with total prize money in 2025 reaching $90 million (£66,599,100). This figure includes a Grand Slam record $5 million (£3,699,950) for the winners of the men’s and women’s singles (Carlos Alcaraz and Aryna Sabalenka, respectively) and $1 million (£739,990) per pair to the men’s (Marcel Granollers and Horacio Zeballos), women’s (Gabriela Dabrowski and Erin Routliffe) and mixed doubles (Sara Errani and Andrea Vavassori) champions. First-round losers in the men’s and women’s singles were compensated to the tune of $110,000 (£81,398).

The total prize pot for the men’s and women’s singles combined was $63.24 million (£46,796,968). In men’s and women’s doubles, a combined $9.56 million (£7,074,304) was on offer, with a further $2.36 million (£1,746,376) for the stand-alone mixed doubles tournament. Wheelchair players shared $1.6 million (£1,183,984) between each of the six draws contested, totalling $9.6 million (£7,103,904). The three qualifying rounds made up the remainder of the players’ $90-million windfall. The US Open’s 2025 prize money topped its own record of $75 million (£57,109,350), set at the previous year’s tournament.
