This is how the prize money is distributed among the tennis players at the 2017 US Open

The US Open enters its decisive rounds after dozens of matches on the courts of Flushing Meadows. Many ATP points are at stake in them, and also very good sums of money, since the tournament is handing out the highest prize money in its history this year, surpassing 50 million dollars for the first time, compared with the 46.3 million distributed last year.

The winners of the men’s and women’s singles tournament will receive a check for 3.7 million dollars, 200,000 dollars more than last year’s champions. The finalists will take home 1.8 million dollars, while the players who reached the semifinals have secured 920,000$.

Those who fell in the quarterfinals pocketed 470,000$, compared with the more than 253,000 earned by those who reached the round of 16. Prize money in the early rounds of the tournament was also generous: 144,000$ for those who lost in the third round, 86,000$ for those who lost in the second round, and 50,000$ for those who entered the main draw but could not win a match.

In the doubles draw, prize money has also increased, with 675,000$ for the winning pair and 340,000$ for the runners-up. Below we leave you the complete breakdown, which you can compare with the prize money distributed at Wimbledon, Roland Garros and the Australian Open, the other three grand slams of the season.
