Zverev and Rybakina each took home $5.5 million from the 2026 US Open. That was the top prize for singles. The money went out on Sept. 13. Both players won their finals that day. Zverev took the men's title. Rybakina took the women's title.
The $5.5 million was the tournament's largest payout. Nobody else got a bigger check. The champions were paid the same. There was no gap between men and women. Every check was identical. The event paid that amount to each winner.
