NEW YORK: The 2016 US Open, the fourth and final Grand Slam of the year, will dish out a record .3 million in prize money, including $3.5 million for the men´s and women´s singles champions.
The bumped-up new purse, an**unced by the US Tennis Association, will make for an increase of about 10 percent per round for players, with the singles runners-up commanding $1.75 million. The numbers outstrip those paid at the other Grand Slam events. This year´s Wimbledon champions, Andy Murray and Serena Williams, earned two million pounds (about $2.6 million) apiece out of a prize money pool of 28.1 million pounds. "We are proud that this year´s US Open will offer the richest purse in tennis history," said USTA president Katrina Adams. This year´s edition of the US Open will begin August 23 and feature a new retractable roof over Arthur Ashe Stadium Court as well as a new Grandstand Stadium. أكثر... ??????? ??????: US Open boosts prize money to record $46.3 million || ??????: ahlam1399 || ??????: اسم منتداك
