US Open Prize Fund Hits Record $108m

Tennis players have welcomed the US Open's record $108m prize fund and agreed not to stage protests at this year's tournament.

The world's leading tennis players have accepted a 20% increase in prize money for the US Open, ending their campaign for greater revenue share. The $108m prize pool guarantees players $140,000 for making the first round, avoiding the media boycotts that disrupted the French Open and Wimbledon earlier this year.

The US Tennis Association's announcement of the record prize pot has satisfied player demands, ensuring no disruption at Flushing Meadows. Players had previously been protesting against their share of tournament revenues, but the significant increase has resolved the dispute. milkshakeslot.com
