Coco Gauff and Peers Help Secure Record $5M U.S. Open Prize
Written by Site Hub on August 6, 2025
Thanks to advocacy by players like Coco Gauff and 2024 champions Aryna Sabalenka and Jannik Sinner, the 2025 U.S. Open will award a record $5 million to each singles winner. Overall player compensation will hit $90 million—a 20% increase from last year. Prize money for all rounds has increased, with semifinalists now earning $1.26 million and finalists receiving $2.5 million. Doubles champions will earn $1 million per team. The increases follow a player-driven push for fairer revenue distribution across tennis’s major tournaments. The 2025 U.S. Open runs August 18–September 7 in Queens, NY, and marks the highest prize pool in tennis history.
