From January 17 to 30, 2022, Melbourne hosts the 110th edition of the Australian Open. With or without Novak Djokovic, the first grand slam of the season will offer a slightly higher financial endowment than last year.
In detail, the Australian Open 2022 winner, for men and women, will pocket the sum of 2.875 million Australian dollars, or approximately 1.82 million euros. The finalist will be consoled with $1.575M AUS.
In the singles table, a loss in the 1st round of the Australian Open 2022 will net 103,000 Australian dollars, or approximately €65,000.
Whether in the singles and doubles tables, the bonuses are slightly higher than those paid during the 2021 edition. In its provisional budget, the organizers will once again have to expect lower ticketing revenue due to a public reception gauge limited to 50%.
