2. I know, but when did they announce it to the crowd during the trophy ceremony???

3. They do.

Sponsors are proud to announce their sponsorship. We only get this much post-match coverage at the US Open. It’s normal.

4. Not to the crowd...

as far as I recall, could be Evert mentioned it, hard to tell, as we kinda don't listen to her constant babbling about nothing.

I may have heard they changed the prize structure, so those way down the ladder made a few bucks, plus they paid hotel costs.

5. I have been watching tennis for damn near 50 years.....and I swear they have NEVER, EVER

said what the prize money was. EVER.

7. Heard prize money a few times...

with players who were barely ranked and made it thru a few rounds, some earned more at the open than they had in their entire careers.

9. After the men's doubles, I heard them announce it to the crowd.

Something like $625k, split 2 ways.

6. Love that remark, her constant babbling. I do NOT like Crissie's commentary at all.

[OneBlueDotS-Carolina]

8. Have no idea why....

Chrissie and JohnnyMac have the stage they have. Both ramble on about matches decades ago, Chrissie sounds like a gossiper at the beauty salon. Do enjoy the early rounds with unknown commentators, they announce stuff like the score and stuff, then shut up while the ball is in play.

10. They always announce it at the USOpen.

Every year.

It’s the only slam that does.

11. Really?? I must have not heard it previously or just didn't pay attention.....

Thanks for this info tho, will listen for it after the men’s match today. And happy the men AND the women get the same amount, thanks Billie Jean and Venus among others.
