This year’s US Open will offer what is claimed to be “the largest purse in tennis history” after a 20 per cent increase in total prize money.

The winner of the men’s and women’s singles will take home $5m each, in what is the biggest single pay-out among the four grand slams. It’s an increase of 39 per cent from last year, when Jannik Sinner and Aryna Sabalenka were awarded $3.6m.

The US Open has also increased its total prize money package with $90m (£67.4m) across the various draws.

Players who reach the first round of the men’s and women’s singles are also guaranteed $110,000, even if they go home without winning a match.
