2021 Australian Open Prize Money
The first Grand Slam of the year in Melbourne will see players compete for a new all-time high prize money pool as the Australian Open has just announced $71.5 million in prize money for 2021.
Despite the pandemic having dire economic consequences worldwide, the 2021 prize money total shows a small rise of 0.70% vs last year. There is a strong focus on qualifiers and early-round losers who see double-digit percentage growth compared to what they could have earned 12 months ago.
Players losing in the first round of qualifying will take home $25,000, while players losing in the first round of the main draw will earn $100,000 in prize money which are jumps of 25% and 11.11% respectively.
Those increases are seen across the majority of the main draw, except for the finalists, runners up and semi-finalists who see their paycheques significantly reduced compared to last year.
The Australia Open Champion this year will receive $2,750,000, a -33.25% reduction on last year. The runner up receives $1,500,000 which is a 27.36% drop.
Speaking on the delayed Australian Open Tournament Director Craig Tiley said the prize money was another important step in continuing to invest in the playing group:
For the first time in more than 100 years the Australian Open will start in February and we look forward to offering the players what we believe will be one of their best playing experiences in 2021.
From the outset, ensuring players have the best possible preparation for the Australian Open, while at all times protecting the precious COVID-free environment that the Victorian community has built through incredible sacrifice and hard work over the past six months, has been paramount.
It has taken eight months of working alongside government authorities, here in Victoria, nationally and interstate, to give us the opportunity to present an Australian Open that will play a major role in both the economic and psychological reinvigoration and rejuvenation of Melbourne and Victoria.Craig Tiley, Tournment Director
