Zverev and Rybakina each pocketed $5.5 million from the 2026 US Open. This represented the top prize for singles. The money arrived on Sept. 13. Each one took their finals that day. Zverev claimed the men's title. Rybakina captured the women's title.
The $5.5 million was the tournament's largest payout. Nobody else received more. Both winners got equal money. There was no gap between men and women. Every check was identical. The tournament awarded that sum to each winner.
