US Open Prize Money 2022: How Much Will Winners Earn?
The US Open is the final Grand Slam tennis tournament on the annual tennis calendar, and so marks the last opportunity for the world’s best tennis players to take home some considerable prize money.
Prize money for the 2022 US Open has yet to be confirmed, so for now, we only have the 2021 US Open prize money to go off as an indication of how much players can expect to earn this year. The actual prize money could be a great deal more if Wimbledon prize money purses are anything to go by.
For the 2021 Wimbledon tournament, total prize money was considerably less than what players received in 2019 (there was no tournament in 2020) due to the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic. With tennis back into full swing in 2022, prize money for the US open could, therefore, increase.
2022 US Open Prize Money

How to watch the 2022 US Open tennis in Australia
For 2022, Australia’s Nine Network have secured the broadcasting rights in a three-year deal. This means you will be able to watch the US Open live and on-demand on Stan Sport. There is also a good chance Nine will broadcast some matches live on Channel 9, but this has yet to be confirmed.
Previously, ESPN was the official broadcaster in Australia, which meant the US Open was available to stream via Kayo Sport or Foxtel.
