INCREASE IN US OPEN PRIZE MONEY

This year's US open men's and women's singles champion will each receive $1.5 million as the prize money,while the total purse will rise to $20.6 million.The winners could also take home an additional $1 million in prize money based on their performances during their events across North America.Last year,Roger Federer won a record prize money of $2.4 million by winning the US open and the other events in US season.This year it seems to be a tough task for Roger Federer as he failed to win any of the grand slam title this year which is quite unusual.
