Tennis NewsSunday, 26 January 2025 at 12:29
The Prize Money breakdown has been confirmed ahead of the 2024 Australian Open which will take place between Sunday 12 January, 2025 - Sunday 26 January 2025. There will be a record amount split over the main singles draws, qualifying singles, doubles men's and women's and mixed doubles.
This is an increase of 11.56% on the 2024 figures. The current defending champions in the men's and women's draws are Jannik Sinner and Aryna Sabalenka who will return to defend their titles at Melbourne Park at the traditional season opener in the Aussie Summer. Sinner famously took down Daniil Medvedev from two sets down last year.
He will aim to make it back-to-back. While Sabalenka who like Sinner has become World No.1 in the WTA will aim to make it three in a row. She has really made Melbourne her home in the last few years.
They will vie for $3,500,000 in prize money to the winner. Runner-Up will claim $1,900,000. While semi-finalists claim $1,100000. Quarter-finalists are set for $665,000.
Last 16 losers receive $420,000, while for reaching the Last 32, it is $290,000. Last 64 losers get $200,000, with first-round exits receiving $132,000.
The total for winning the title will increase over 11 per cent to $3.5m in 2025. While for reaching the final, it is $1.9m which is up from $1.725m in 2024. Also further down, those in qualifying also get a jump. Losing first round accrues $35,000 which last year was $31,250.

- Iga needs to make a decision whether she wants to continue the sport of tennis or pursue whatever she has going on in her personal life. One can tell that tennis is no longer an interest of hers. She should retire while she is on top, not when she slides to the bottom of the rankings. She has too much talent to look how she does on the court these days. She looks more like a wild card than a champion.crissy09-09-2026

mandoist08-09-2026 - Don't lay this shitshow on "Americans". It is a long-running Ego trip with WTA allowing these two Elitists 'in need of a Camera' illicit Wildcards. If these two clowns want to "perform" -- then play the qualies.mandoist08-09-2026

- One of the most amazing comebacks in a long, long time. It happens (and Keys shouldn't lose her crackers over this). If Madison starts playing Dress-up and walking out on court like some fantasy character with a Mental Problem... then she should really start worrying!mandoist06-09-2026
