2025 Australian Open prize money revealed: The whopping amount champions will pocket
The first Grand Slam of the season wraps up in Melbourne this weekend with some serious prize money awaiting the victorious players.

We’re into the final stretch as the first major tennis tournament of 2025 as the Australian Open prepares to bring the curtain down with the final games scheduled for Saturday and Sunday (January 25 and 26).
Both men’s and women’s 2024 champions are still involved in the action with both Jannik Sinner and Belarus' Arnya Sabalenka still in contention to retain their respective crowns.
The Italian faces No. 10 seed Ben Shelton in Friday’s semi-final with the winner set to face the victorious player from the earlier game as Novak Djokovic faces Alexander Zverev withe Serbian gunning for his 11th Australian Open title.

In the women’s draw Sabalenka is in the hunt for a third successive title in Melbourne and she awaits the winner from the Keys-Swiatek semi-final.
