2022 US Open ATP & WTA Prize Money & Points Overview - more than $60 million
ATP & WTA
The 2022 US Open takes place from August 29 through September 11th, with a lot to fight for as the fourth Grand Slam of the season will award more than $60 million in prize money and a lot of points.
Daniil Medvedev won his maiden Grand Slam title at the US Open last year, and he will be the defending champion in 2022. Emma Raducanu will also enter the tournament hoping to defend the title and, more significantly, the 2,000 WTA ranking points that are awarded to the champion in the women's competition.
Traditionally, both champions will be awarded 2,000 points, and in 2022, the prize money awarded to the champion amounts to an incredible $2,600,000. The overall prize money awarded to players will be more than $60 million at this year's US Open, which is a record amount.
The finalist in the men's singles tournament will get 1,200 points ATP ranking points, while the women's finalist will be awarded 1300 WTA points, but both will get $1,300,000 in prize money.
For losing in the first round of the event, players will get 10 points to the rankings and also $80,000. That is a significant amount that equals to winning some of the ATP 250 tournaments.
The points and also prize money increase with every round as players that get into the second round will get 45 points (ATP) or 70 points (WTA) and $121,000. In the third round, 90 points (ATP) or 130 points (WTA) are given to the player with a cheque for $188,000.
The Grand Slam tournaments are usually where players focus on their results the most. It's not a surprise, since for reaching the quarterfinals of the tournament, they can earn more than winning some of the ATP 500 events.
The quarterfinalists get 360 points (ATP) or 430 points (WTA) and $445,000, while the semi-finalists at the 2022 US Open will be rewarded with 720 (ATP) points or 780 (WTA) points, and $705,000.

- If Jessica Pegula had to undergo such horror for using a bannes substance, so do these two tennis players. Penalty should apply to all players regardless of their excuses. They are professionals and know better!!
Stella112-12-2024 - All players should be treated the same for taking banned substances, if your no 1 in the world or no 300 man or woman you should not be allowed to keep playing,,VPH108-12-2024

- IDK, it looks like to me that Raducanu should praise herself and her team for 'gaming the system' as in playing the points and ranking game. When you look at her season of wild cards, skipping tournaments (including the Paris Olympics!), retiring from losing matches and avoiding qualifying rounds, it seems like there was some plan to move up the ranks without actually playing a lot of tennis. And it worked! Congrats!RealityCheckers04-12-2024
