 has announced that each winner of the men's and women's singles tournaments will be awarded £2.35million ($3million). This increase in prize money reflects the commitment of the USTA to provide equal opportunities and rewards for both male and female players. The total prize pot at this year's US Open is expected to reach a staggering £50.9m ($65million), reports the Express US. In addition to the increased prize money, tournament organisers have also made improvements in other areas to enhance the experience for players. Competitors will now receive travel vouchers worth around $1000 (£783) and have the option of a second free room in an official tournament hotel, rather than just one. Alternatively, players can choose a stipend of $600 (£470) per day for alternative accommodation. Meal allowances will be increased, and racket stringing services will be offered to all competitors. This year's US Open holds special significance as it marks the 50th anniversary of awarding equal prize money at the tournament.

Prize money on offer at the 2023 US Open has been increased from last year’s total pot with organisers offering £2.35million to the winner of the men’s and women’s singles
Carlos Alcaraz and Novak Djokovic will soon turn their attentions to the 2023 US Open as they compete for a record-breaking prize pot.
Tournament organisers have significantly increased the amount of money up for grabs compared to last year, adding to the excitement and anticipation surrounding the event which begins in New York later this month. Wimbledon champion Alcaraz, the defending champion on the men’s side, will be looking to repeat his past heroics after beating Casper Ruud in last year’s final.
Then, Alcaraz walked away with prize money of £2million for winning his first Grand Slam title. But this year, the winner will receive an even more substantial payout.
