The US Open has once again set a new record with a staggering total prize pool of $90 million for the 2025 tournament, marking a 20% increase from the previous year. This amount significantly surpasses the other three Grand Slam events.
Both the men’s and women’s singles champions will earn $5 million each, while winning doubles teams will receive $1 million. For reference, last year’s singles titleholders, Jannik Sinner and Aryna Sabalenka, earned $3.6 million for their victories.
Currently, DraftKings has Jannik Sinner as a slight favorite at +110, followed by Carlos Alcaraz at +185 in the men’s bracket, while Aryna Sabalenka (+250) and Iga Swiatek (+330) head the women’s field.
Match action is heating up in Flushing, New York, with leading seeds advancing smoothly to the third round. This phase often determines the genuine contenders, with Sinner, Alcaraz, Novak Djokovic, and Alexander Zverev aiming to secure their spots in the Round of 16 this weekend.
