The next edition of the US Open will be full of emotions, surprises, excitement and a great and juicy incentive for the players. And the American Grand Slam has just announced the prize money which will be distributed to its participants, setting a new record in the history of tennis. This 2024, the tournament will distribute a total of 75 million dollarswhich means a 15% increase over last year. This means that men and women will once again receive equal amounts of cash, demonstrating the equal pay that the US Open is committed to.
If we look closely at the amounts announced on the US Open website, we see that the champion and the champion will receive a total of $3.6 million each, which is 20% more than in 2023. In addition, those players who lose in the first round of the main draw will receive a total of 100,000 US dollars (23% more than last year).
