The American Coco Gauff, new champion of the US Open women’s singles at the age of 19, thanked Billie Jean King, a tennis legend who gave her the trophy, whose financial prize is the same as what is best in men’s singles which will be received the next day..
A nod to Billie Jean King, who gave her name to the complex where this Grand Slam is played, and who was the originator of this equity, where 50 years have passed in this edition at Flushing Meadows.
Coco Gauff has already earned on the WTA circuit more than 11 million dollars (the official money in the tennis rankings of this type).
There are 175,281,484 dollars accumulated by the person who earned the most money in official ATP competitions alone, which is a small fraction compared to sponsorship income, including well-paid exhibitions.
Novak Djokovic, 36 years old, tied his record by breaking the barrier of 175. Maybe he will break the bar of 200. This season he has accumulated $10,590,175, also leading the year.
He surpassed Carlos Alcaraz, who this year pocketed $8,537,064. He broke 21 million barriers in his career. Specifically, 21,141,707 dollars, after adding 750,000 to New York as a semifinalist (about 725,000 euros). It rises in the historical classification from 29th to 24th place.
The big pot at the US Open went to Novak Djokovic, who has never won more money in one tournament than he did in this Grand Slam. He received a check, before tax, for 3,000,000 dollars, about 2,800,000 euros.
15% more than what Carlos Alcaraz won in 2022. The US Open distributed a record amount of 65 million dollars. About 60 euros, more than 50 at Roland Garros and the Australian Open, 52 at Wimbledon.
The 2,800,000 euros follows the 2 ‘kilo’ he earned in Australia, the 2,300,000 at Roland Garros. Alcaraz added 2.7 million euros in change at Wimbledon, as the check was for 2,350,000 pounds sterling.
For Daniil Medvedev, $1,500,000 as a finalist, about 1,400,000 euros. So far this year, third behind Djokovic and Alcaraz with $6,411,834. In his career, more than 34 million dollars.
