There’s AUD$96.5 Million worth of prize money (+11.5%) on the line at the 2025 Australian Open.

Despite several headliners losing out in the first round, including Nick Kyrgios and Stefano Tsitsipas, they’re still walking away with a healthy sum of money just for turning up. Players who lose in the early rounds will miss out on the grand prize of $3,500,000 (+$350,000) for men’s and women’s singles winners. However, first-round singles players will pocket $132,000 (+$12,000) no matter the result, and second-round singles players will earn $200,000 (+$20,000).

If you’re retrospectively contemplating a double life as a professional tennis player after realising the average tennis player makes more than twice the average Australian salary of $100,016.80 just by making the second round of the 2025 Australian Open then we don’t blame you. Still, you’ll want to stick around and read about the prize money for doubles, singles, and mixed doubles, too. Let’s check out the total prize money for all those competing at the 2025 Australian Open!
