Runners-up will earn £1.2million.
That is 17.5 per cent more than the duo landed last year and sees the reward increase to the level seen before the pandemic.
It is also more than this year’s Australian and French Open were willing to give out.
The competition Down Under handed singles champions £1.7million and Roland Garros gave them £2million each.
There is also big money up for grabs at Wimbledon by just making the singles draw with losers in the opening round set to take home £55,000 each.
For players that don’t make the cut automatically, there is three rounds of qualifying and even losing in the opening round there means you will receive a check for £12,500.
Extra cash is also available for wheelchair tennis stars this year with singles winners getting £60,000.
