Over 500 players are competing at the US Open at the Billie Jean King National Tennis Center in Queens, New York, with main-draw matches running through September 7. Several 2024 defending champions, including Jannik Sinner and Aryna Sabalenka, have returned, and high-profile competitors such as Carlos Alcaraz, Coco Gauff, Novak Djokovic, and Naomi Osaka are participating. Total player compensation for 2025 is $90 million, a 20% increase from $75 million in 2024, and the largest purse in professional tennis. Players can earn up to $5 million in specific championships. The USTA added a $1,000 travel stipend and hotel support totaling $5 million.
The total player compensation for the 2025 US Open is $90 million, the most winnings ever offered at a professional tennis tournament. "The US Open has made a deliberate and concerted effort to ensure double-digit percentage increases from 2024 in all rounds of all events for all players, while at the same time significantly increasing the percentage of prize money for athletes playing deep into the singles draws," the US Tennis Association said in a press release.
The annual tournament is underway at the Billie Jean King National Tennis Center in Queens, New York, where matches for the main draws began on Sunday and will continue until September 7. The tournament also launched a new format for mixed doubles this year, which took place earlier in the month. Several 2024 US Open defending champions - including Jannik Sinner and Aryna Sabalenka - have returned to reclaim the top spot.
