<\/a>US Open record prize money: How much do players earn round by round?<\/p>\n

This year\u2019s US Open<\/a> will offer what is claimed to be \u201cthe largest purse in tennis history\u201d after a 20 per cent increase in total prize money.<\/p>\n

The winner of the men\u2019s and women\u2019s singles will take home $5m each, in what is the biggest single pay-out among the four grand slams.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s an increase of 39 per cent from last year, when Jannik Sinner and Aryna Sabalenka were awarded $3.6m.<\/p>\n

<\/a>Jannik Sinner provides injury update ahead of US Open final with Carlos Alcaraz<\/p>\n

Sinner felt \u201ca small twitching\u201d in his stomach during the second set and took a medical timeout after Auger-Aliassime levelled the match, with the World No 1 pointing to his abdomen and heading off the court for treatment.<\/p>\n

The 24-year-old jogged back onto the court following the timeout and steadied the ship as his usual serve and forehand speed returned, before navigating some difficult moments against Auger-Aliassime to win in four.<\/p>\n

<\/a>Novak Djokovic\u2019s new reality painfully exposed in familiar US Open exit<\/p>\n

Novak Djokovic<\/a> cracked a wide smile on the big stage and licked his lips. He was exactly where he wanted to be as he duelled with young rival Carlos Alcaraz<\/a> in their US Open<\/a> semi-final, the muscle memory ingrained within the 24-time grand slam champion taking over. Djokovic won two outstanding points in the second-set tiebreak, defying his age to outmanoeuvre his younger opponent and he sensed his opportunity to strike.<\/p>\n

At 38, Djokovic was determined to enjoy the battle and take nothing for granted. But then, reality and time hit him like a train. After those two lung-bursting points, which sent Alcaraz sliding and spinning into the tramlines, Djokovic suddenly hit the wall. He made basic errors in the rallies, checking out of exchanges where he used to outlast his opponents. \u201cI ran out of gas,\u201d Djokovic admitted.<\/p>\n

<\/a>Tennis legend Bjorn Borg reveals he has been living with prostate cancer<\/p>\n

Tennis legend Bjorn Borg<\/a>, who won 11 grand slam titles, has revealed in an upcoming biography that he has been living with prostrate cancer for the past two years.<\/p>\n

Born, 69, told the Associated Press in an interview that he was diagnosed with an “extremely aggressive” prostate cancer and is in remission after undergoing an operation in 2024.<\/p>\n

The five-time Wimbledon<\/a> winner writes in his memoir, \u2018Heartbeats\u2019, \u201cI have a new opponent in cancer \u2014 one I can’t control.<\/p>\n

<\/a>Jannik Sinner v Carlos Alcaraz odds<\/p>\n

Sinner enters the US Open final as the favourite, though not by much. <\/p>\n

Alcaraz was the favourite for the Wimbledon final and the bookies can barely split them this time. <\/p>\n

<\/a>Carlos Alcaraz explains why Donald Trump\u2019s US Open appearance will be \u2018great for tennis\u2019<\/p>\n

Trump has not attended the US Open for a decade, but is set to make his return after accepting a corporate invite to a suite for Sunday\u2019s final at Arthur Ashe Stadium.<\/p>\n

<\/a>How to beat Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz \u2013 according to their rivals<\/p>\n

Never mind that Sinner had yet to play his quarter-final with Grigor Dimitrov<\/a>. The result was taken as read. Death, taxes and Jannik Sinner winning, to paraphrase the saying. (Ironically, Dimitrov then came a set away from a huge upset before retiring injured<\/a>).<\/p>\n

But the point stands that Sinner, the world No 1, a four-time grand slam champion, and Carlos Alcaraz<\/a>, world No 2 and five-time grand slam champion, are a cut above the rest of the field. After Sunday\u2019s clash in New York<\/a>, they will have won the last eight majors between them and contested the three most recent finals among themselves. It is the first time in the Open era that the same two players will contest three of the four slam finals in a season.<\/p>\n

<\/a>How Aryna Sabalenka finally learned her lesson to conquer US Open<\/p>\n

In a moment, as Aryna Sabalenka<\/a> dropped to the baseline and collapsed into tears, all the painful defeats in grand slam finals were suddenly worth it. From the losses to Madison Keys<\/a> at the Australian Open and Coco Gauff<\/a> at the French Open this season, as well as her semi-final defeat to Amanda Anisimova<\/a> at Wimbledon, Sabalenka emerged with valuable lessons, and then used them to her advantage in defending her US Open<\/a> title.<\/p>\n

She vanquished her demons and earned redemption to defeat Anisimova 6-4 7-6 (7-4), becoming the first player to retain her US Open title since Serena Williams in 2014. A fourth grand slam title of her career illustrates how her powerful game has come together with her improved touch, movement and, above all, mentality. A first grand slam title of her season is the reward for growing through adversity, and for tackling what had been holding her back: herself.<\/p>\n
