The final Grand Slam of the calendar year, the 2024 US Open, starts on Monday.

In the men’s event, Novak Djokovic is the reigning champion.

For women, that is Coco Gauff.

At age 19, she became the youngest American player to win the US Open since her idol, Serena Williams (US Open 1999).

The US Open is not only a tough one for Djokovic and Gauff, who are looking to defend their 2,000 points, but also for the biggest prize money in tennis history.

The total prize money for the 2023 US Open was $65 million, up from a record $75 million this year.

When: August 26 – September 8

Where: USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center in New York.

Field: 128 players for each singles tournament

TV and livestream: ESPN and ESPN+

Top income overview (men and women)

  • First place: $3.6 million
  • Second place: $1.8 million
  • Semi-finalist: $1 million
  • Quarterfinalist: $530,000
  • Round of 16: $325,000
  • Round of 32: $215,000
  • Round of 64: $140,000
  • Round of 128: $100,000

A year after the then record amount of $65 million was divided among all participants, the stakes are even higher, at $75 million.

In the men’s bracket, 21-year-old Carlos Alcaraz is the +200 favorite (bet $100 to win $200), according to Draftkings Sportsbook.

However, the third-seeded player has played only one match since losing in the final of the 2024 Paris Olympics and is now in the same half of the schedule as Jannik Sinner.

Sinner, who won the Australian Open in 2024, has performed best on hardcourt this year and starts the week with a title race at the Cincinnati Open.

While the top of the draw is a battle between the two, the name of the final group stands out: Novak Djokovic.

The 37-year-old is hoping to win his record 25th Grand Slam and is the second favourite to win at +250.

In the women’s event, Coco Gauff is the reigning champion, but she is the third favorite to win this year at +1100.

The 20-year-old plays in the same half as Aryna Sabalenka, who has the lowest odds to win at +230.

Sabalenka has won three of the last four Grand Slam tournaments on hard courts and needs a week to dominate her opponents, top-seeded Iga Swiatek and sixth-seeded Jessica Pegula, at the Cincinnati Open.

Sabalenka and Gauff are at the bottom of the list, but at the top it seems there are plenty of outsiders.
