The US Open broke records in 2024 by offering the largest purse in tennis history. The final Grand Slam tournament of the year is upping the ante in 2025.
The 2025 US Open will be the first tennis event to reach $90 million in total player compensation, topping the $75 million at stake last summer. The total marks a 20% increase. Reigning men’s and women’s singles champions Jannik Sinner and Aryna Sabalenka will look to defend their crowns in New York and take home a respective winning share of $5 million.
ESPN will present exclusive coverage of the three-week tournament across ESPN’s family of networks and digital platforms. Check out key facts about the 2025 event below:
