The 2025 edition of the US Open has come and gone, and in line with every Grand Slam-era tournament over the past few years, players are walking away with more prize money than ever before.
Carlos Alcaraz captured his sixth Grand Slam title at the ripe age of 22, avenging his Wimbledon finals loss against key rival Jannik Sinner (the Spaniard’s first-ever loss in a Grand Slam final). Between the aforementioned events and the latest French Open, Alcaraz extends his career record over Sinner to 8-3, while taking home a not-so-casual US$5 million.

Sinner, on the other hand, will have the otherwise crushing blow of defeat softened with US$2.5 million.
As for the women’s, the one and only Aryna Sabalenka bested Amanda Anisimova 6-3, 7 (7)-6 (3) to repeat her 2024 success and pocket identical prize money as her male counterpart; the latter also applied to the world no. 1’s young American rival, who redeemed herself with a harder fought effort after the lopsided 6-0, 6-0 slaughter she endured for 57 minutes during that recent Wimbledon finals appearance.
