2020 US Open provides $53.4 million in total player compensation, only 5% decrease from 2019

The coronavirus pandemic and major financial crisis that is affecting pretty much all industries, including tennis, will not be felt that much at the 2020 US Open, as the tournament will offer $53.4 million in total player compensation, which is nearly 95% of the amount provided in 2019.

Total main draw singles and doubles purse will equal more than $43 million, while $7.6 million will be dedicated toward player relief.

The USTA, WTA and ATP worked together to create a payment structure that would ensure financial balance and support for players during an unprecedented time.
