Alright, here we go. So, there’s this thing happening in 2025, right? The Washington Tennis Open. Surprisingly (or maybe not?), over $3.5 million bucks are being thrown around. I mean, that’s a lot of dough, right? I can’t even imagine holding that much cash all at once. It’d probably feel heavy, like when you’re trying to carry too many grocery bags at once.
Anyway, let’s talk winners. Alex de Minaur snagged the men’s singles title and oh boy, did he cash in—$420,525. Seriously, what do you even do with that? Maybe buy an island? And then there’s Leylah Fernandez, who took the women’s singles, walking home with $197,570. Almost as much as Alex, but not quite. Which is, I dunno, maybe kinda disappointing?
Venus Williams made a triumphant return! She picked up a neat $19,085. And Emma Raducanu? Yeah, she pocketed $71,205 and just like that, she’s the top Brit on the tour… not bad, eh?
Now, ATP details here. Yeah, it’s more numbers, but bear with me—or don’t—I’m just winging it.
So, Alex de Minaur, obviously at the top, then Alejandro Davidovich Fokina grabbed $224,275 as the finalist. What would you do if you lost that kinda match? Celebrate or sulk?
Corentin Moutet and Ben Shelton, the semi-finalists, each got $116,340. Honestly, splitting? That’s probably nice. Then there’s a bunch of others like Brandon Nakashima and Daniil Medvedev hovering around $60k. Round of 16 folks like M Arnaldi and Y Wu got $32,005, which is like, a new car or something, right?
Let’s not forget the WTA side. Leylah Fernandez, already mentioned her, but I can’t help repeating—she did good! Then Anna Kalinskaya ($121,880) trailed behind. Emma Raducanu and Elena Rybakina tied again at $71,205—they must love keeping pace with each other.
Quarter-finalists, Townsend and Fręch, also raked in $37,530 apiece. Not too shabby for a few days of chasing tennis balls.
So there it is! Some winners, some losers, and a bunch of cash flying around. Makes you wonder, what’s all this racket really worth? Ha! Get it? Racket? Alright, I’m out.
