Prize money for losing R1 at the majors in 2023
(Today's exchange rates)
Aussie Open: $69,510
Roland Garros: $75,589
Wimbledon: $70,100
US Open: $81,500
Good to see this keep going up. It's not more money for losers but fair reward for those good enough to get into a major
This is the most basic economics for pro tennis - reach the top 100, guaranteed $300k for the year from automatic Slam entry (and hope you don't get injured). That should pay for coaching, a trainer, and expenses, right? Everything else you earn - prize money and sponsorships - is income.

After her match vs Parks ...
Via The Tennis Letter @thetennisletter
Belinda Bencic spent 1.5 hours in anti doping after 3 hour match:
“I just spent 1.5 hours in anti doping, not being able to pee after a 3 hour match. I don’t know what they expect & I don’t know why I have anti doping, when I won. I didn’t even eat yet. I had to beg to have an ice bath. It’s new rules. That’s how I recover I guess. Not ideal.”

Picky, Picky, Picky. (Fixed).
Albeit, "We've Made an Unforced Error" would also be a great tennis player name.

Someone very recently said he'll be Alcaraz's main rival. Goran maybe?

I still need to see him beat a big name. Alcaraz, Novak, Daniil, somebody up there.

Sinner has a 3-3 head to head against Alcaraz, winning at Croatia and Wimbledon in '22 and Miami in '23.

Yes, but I mean recently. If we are going to claim that his game has improved, we have to see such improved game against the top.

I'm sorry but I still don't see it with Sinner.
