How much prize money could the Brits earn in the singles at the US Open 2019

PLACE (Singles) PRIZE MONEY $ (£)
Winner $3.85m (£3.155m)
Runner-up $1.9m (£1.557m)
Semi-finalist $960k (£784.7k)
Quarter-finalist $500k (£400.8k)
Round 4 $280k (£229.5k)
Round 3 $163k (£133.6k)
Round 2 $100k (£81.9k)
Round 1 $58k (£47.5k)

As we have seen throughout recent years, as the Slams roll around the different tournaments step up the bar with the others beginning to follow suit. This year’s hike makes the US Open the most lucrative of the four slams with this year’s Roland Garros pipping Wimbledon to the post this year, despite all four Slams following the same pattern of raising their prize money, year on year.

What does this mean for the Brits?

Despite leaving it down to the wire, there will be no miraculous return to the Slam singles battle for Andy Murray… yet! Meanwhile it has been a year of varying successes for the Brits.

The standouts have been the summer performances on clay for British women’s No. 1 Johanna Konta, and Dan Evans’ comeback over the grass court season. It has not been as good a year for Kyle Edmund, who at least has held on to the British men’s No. 1 spot, but the No. 2 spot was lost to Cameron Norrie as he was leapfrogged by Evans. However the surprise news that Evans has split with coach David Feldgate may affect his equilibrium.

However, the draws have not been kind to Konta or Edmund, while Evans is set to face Federer in the third round. Perhaps Norrie emerges as the one unknown quantity to many of his potential opponents.

Opponents assumed via their ranking/seeding.
