The 2021
US Open will be the 141st edition of the Grand Slam tournament which will see proceedings return to full capacity at Flushing Meadows.
The
prize money for the 2021 edition sees the winner collect $2,500,000 and the $1,250,000 meaning a small decrease from 2020 where it stood at £3m and £1.5m respectively.
This means a total of $38,720,000 on offer in the singles tournaments compared to $39,024,000 last year.
But this prize money has been more evenly spread between the rounds with increases for those losing in the Last 64 and Last 128 with the decrease coming from the semi-final onwards with $675,000 instead of $800,000 like last year.
