Grand Slam Tennis celebrates a record-setting season

Unprecedented Interest

The popularity of Grand Slam tennis reached new heights in 2024, with a combined viewership of almost 2 billion people in more than 200 countries. On-site attendance also grew to record levels, with more than 3,360,000 fans attending the tournaments, a 10 per cent increase in 2023.

The Grand Slams have also seen remarkable growth in their social media audiences. With an increase of more than 30% in the numbers of in-tournament video views and impressions, the four events combined have reached upwards of 6.3 billion total views and a staggering 12 billion impressions.

This unprecedented interest underlines both the global appeal of tennis and the Grand Slams, and demonstrates the enthusiasm of tennis fans to support these events, whether through on-site attendance, content consumption or a combination of both.

Remarkable Growth and Investment

The Grand Slams are proud to provide an unrivalled platform to showcase the exceptional talent of close to 800 players during each three-week event.

In 2024, a record US$254 million player compensation was awarded at the Grand Slams, an increase of US$23 million compared with 2023. This year-on-year growth underscores the commitment of the Grand Slam events to invest in the sport and its athletes.

This investment not only includes significant levels of support for participation and high-performance programmes in each of the four nations, the Grand Slams are also committed to fostering the development and recognition of tennis talent worldwide. The Grand Slam Player Development Programme, which benefits from more than US$3 million of Grand Slam funding each year, continues to offer financial support leading to more competitive opportunities for players from developing tennis nations and regions. Since its inception in 1986, the Grand Slam Player Development Programme has contributed more than US$60 million to strengthen and grow player development worldwide.

The 2024 season has been a showcase for the global appeal and growth of Grand Slam tennis. As we innovate and invest in the sport’s future, the four Grand Slams remain committed to providing unmatched opportunities for players and unforgettable experiences for fans.

With record-breaking attendance, viewership, and engagement, Grand Slam tennis continues to inspire and push the boundaries of sport. We look forward to building on this momentum in the years ahead.

There were no Wheelchair competitions at the US Open due to the 2024 Paris Paralympic Games. However, the USTA made the decision to provide the players that would have been entered into the US Open via direct acceptance with a player grant, to ensure that these players would receive the equivalent of prize money as compensation.
