Aryna Sabalenka confirmed her dominance in New York, lifting the 2025 US Open women’s singles trophy and securing the champion’s paycheck. But while Sabalenka’s win was expected, the money story of the tournament stretched far beyond the singles final.
For several players, the doubles and mixed doubles draws provided a crucial boost in earnings—with two names in particular standing out: Sara Errani and Taylor Townsend.
Townsend & Errani Turned Doubles Into Dollars
Errani, the seasoned Italian, maximized her opportunities. She partnered with Andrea Vavassori to capture the mixed doubles title, pocketing $500,000. On top of that, she teamed up with Jasmine Paolini in women’s doubles, adding another $125,000 to her total haul.
Townsend’s route looked different but just as rewarding. The American powered into the singles draw, banking $440,000 before doubling up in doubles. Alongside Katerina Siniakova, she finished runner-up to earn $250,000, and in mixed doubles with Ben Shelton she collected an additional $50,000.
These performances show how doubles and mixed doubles can dramatically impact overall prize money, with Townsend and Errani proving that versatility across formats pays off.

What Did the Women’s Doubles Champions Take Home?
Gabriela Dabrowski and Erin Routliffe each pocketed $500,000 as champions of the 2025 US Open Women’s Doubles. The pair defeated Taylor Townsend and Katerina Siniakova 6-4, 6-4 in the final.
For Siniakova, the doubles result wasn’t enough to push her into the overall top-10 earnings list. A deeper singles run would have done the trick—she exited before the second round.
