The US expanded 2025 in depth the bonus record

Compared to last year, the last total bonus in Grand Slam in the season increased by 20%, of which the men's and women's singles championship received a record amount of 5 million USD, up 39%. This year is also the first time the application of the application on Sunday, August 24, and lasts from 14 to 15 days. Previously, the content of the couple will take place in two days, August 19-20. The champion is a million USD. The goal of the American Tennis Association (USTA) over the years is to redistribute the bonus fund towards the goal of increasing more money to all players attending.

With this spending, the US expanded far beyond other Grand Slam. In Wimbledon, the total bonus is 72.7 million USD, while the number in Roland Garros and Australia expands 65.4 million USD and 62.9 million USD respectively.

In addition to expanding the Bonus Fund, the US Organizing Committee expands and supports and reduces many other costs for players when competing. Specifically, the athletes are provided with $ 1,000 costs and two official hotel rooms of the tournament, or receive 600 USD/day if they choose to stay at another location. In addition, the players are stretched for free, maximum five trees each. According to USTA, the total cost of supporting the player is 5 million USD.

Although the bonus fund has continuously increased, the amount of players received is still very modest compared to the expanded US sales, up to nearly 560 million USD in 2024. Before this situation, the top players are fighting fiercely. They agreed to Larry Scott, WTA manager, discuss with the operators of Grand Slam tournaments in terms of content redistributing the ratio that the athletes deserve to be enjoyed from revenue.. This ratio is much lower when placed next to other team sports in the US, where the athletes receive nearly 50% of the revenue from the event.
