We have reached the last weekend of the Australian Open, with more champions for 2025 about to be decided.

On Friday, Aussie duo Olivia Gadecki and John Peers emerged victorious to take out the mixed doubles event.

Both the women's singles and men's doubles champions will be crowned on Saturday, with the men's singles and women's doubles titles up for grabs on Sunday.

Along with the prestige and honour of winning a grand slam tournament, there is also some hefty prize money on offer for the victors (and runners-up, too). 

The Sporting News has the details.

Australian Open prize money: Women's and men's singles winners

In 2025, the singles champions at Melbourne Park will take home a whopping $3.5 million.

This is a $350,000 increase on last year's offering.

Runners-up will also head home considerably richer, as they are set to earn $1.9 million.

The Australian Open has provided equal prize money to men's and women's players since 2001.

Australian Open prize money: Mixed, men's and women's doubles winners

There is significantly less prize money on offer for doubles winners compared to their singles counterparts.

Regardless, the $810,000 pay packet for the men's and women's champion teams is nothing to be sneezed at. 

Runners-up will earn just over half that figure – $440,000.

As the victorious pair in the mixed doubles event, Gadecki and Peers received $175,000, while the second-placed duo of Kimberley Birrell and John-Patrick Smith took home $97,750.

All doubles prize money is per team, meaning the winnings are split.
