How much money does the 2021 US Open winner get?
The final Grand Slam of the 2021 season is here and while the players are aiming for one of tennis’ greatest trophies, they’ll also be vying for a big payday at the US Open.
Last year’s tournament saw a decline in the overall purse due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In 2021, with fans back in the stands to cheer — and jeer — the purse has risen not only beyond 2020s total but 2019’s record payout as well.
The US Open’s total prize money in 2021 is set at a record $57.5 million, which is $300,000 more than the pre-pandemic total of $57.2 million in 2019. Last year’s tournament was decreased to $53.4 million due to the lost revenue without spectators.
How much money does the 2021 US Open winner get?
This year, the men’s and women’s singles champions will earn $2.5 million. That number is $500,000 less than the 2020 prize money earned by winners Dominic Thiem and Naomi Osaka.
The 2021 US Open qualifying tournament saw its overall payout increase 66 percent over 2019. (There was no qualifying in 2020.) First-round losers in singles in 2021 will earn $14,000 more compared to 2020 while the Round of 64 thru the Round of 16 will see an increase between $14,000 and $17,000. Quarterfinalists in 2021 will earn the same as last year while semifinalists and finalists will see their total payouts drop $125,000 and $250,000, respectively.
“With the US Open’s greatest return — fans on-site and full draws across all competitions — we know that 2021 will be an historic year for this great tournament,” said US Open tournament director Stacey Allaster. “We determined our round-by-round prize money allocations by engaging in an open dialogue with the players and the management of both tours. We applaud their collective leadership in directing the 2021 US Open prize money to benefit the maximum number of players.”

After spending a fun day at the tracks of Miami, Camila Cabello dropped a photo and video dump on her Instagram from her day on the circuit.

This is Huge $300M-worth: Dale Earnhardt Jr receives back priceless piece of dad’s legacy from his former pit crew member
This is Huge $300M-worth: Dale Earnhardt Jr receives back priceless piece of dad’s legacy from his former pit crew member
Dale Earnhardt Jr. was presented with a heartwarming gift, symbolic of his father’s legacy, from Danny “Chocolate” Myers and Kirk Shelmerdine in the latest episode of Dale Jr Download. Chocolate Myers worked as a fueler for the #3 Richard Childress Racing Chevrolet team.
He was an integral part of the pit crew during all of Dale Earnhardt Sr’s six championship triumphs with RCR. Kirk Shelmerdine served as the crew chief of the #3 Chevy team from 1984
to 1992. In a recent episode of Dale Jr. Download, Myers presented Dale Earnhardt Jr, worth $300 million (via Celebrity Net Worth), his father’s iconic goggles as a gift.
Myers fondly reminisced how he would retrieve the goggles from the #3 Chevy every week after the race
“I got ready to come down here and I looked around and I’m going – I’ve got a couple of things right. And remember I was the guy that when we came back from the race track, went out put the car on the lift, started to get it clean and your dad would always take these off and leave them hanging on the mirror and I would always reach in and grab them. These are a pair of your dad’s goggles,” Myers said.
The former ‘Flying Aces’ RCR pit crew member further mentioned that these particular goggles were from a Daytona Duel win, which he inscribed on the strap. However, he later confessed that he forgot to
mention the year:
“I wrote on the strap when I took them out of the car ‘Winner Daytona 125’. Now unfortunately, when I wrote that on there I didn’t put what year. So these could be [from any year]… cause we won it
ten years straight man and nobody’s ever going to do that. So I wanted to give you those to hang on the wall.”
Dale Earnhardt Sr. won 10 straight duel races between 1990-99 and won 34 races at the Daytona International Speedway, including the 1998 Daytona 500 victory

This is Bad: Kevin Harvick Exposed What NASCAR is Making Chase Elliott Going Through
This is Bad: Kevin Harvick Exposed What NASCAR is Making Chase Elliott Going Through
Chase Elliott is the last remaining representative of illustrious lineages in the world of NASCAR. Throughout the sport’s history, there have been numerous superstar drivers who come from legendary racing families, such as the Petty, Earnhardt, Wallace, and Allison families. However, over time, this trend has diminished, leaving only Hendrick Motorsports as the last stronghold of these great lineages.
While being born into a family of drivers may grant certain advantages and access, it also comes with a tremendous burden. These drivers must constantly strive to live up to the legacy and achievements of their predecessors. Chase Elliott, in particular, faces the daunting task of matching the exceptional performance achieved by his father, a former champion. For others, this bar may seem unattainable.
During a recent episode of the Happy Hour podcast with Chase Elliott, the 2014 Cup champion discussed the immense pressure that drivers like Elliott and Dale Jr. face. He expressed that this pressure is unwarranted and something these drivers cannot escape.
In the same podcast, Chase Elliott shared that his passion for racing stems from the competitive nature of the sport. He emphasized that this motivation has been a constant force in his life since childhood.
As the driver of the #9 car for Hendrick Motorsports, Elliott has already emerged from his father’s shadow and established his own legacy by winning championships. However, he still has much more to contribute to the sport and the fans who have embraced him. Undoubtedly, they would love to see him end his career as a multiple champion.
