US Open Grand Slam 2016
US Open Grand Slam 2016 • US Open Grand Slam 2016 Today August 29, 2016 last session of US Grand Slam for this year is going to start. For more details , https://twitter.com/ https://plus.google.com/u/0/s/us%20gr... The US Open Tennis 2016 will kick off on Monday in New York. Fans will immediately get a glimpse at the top contenders in the competition, including Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal. ADVERTISEMENT Nadal will take court before Djokovic starts his campaign. The Spanish tennis superstar will open his title bid against unseeded Denis Istomin of Uzbekistan in the third match of the morning session at Arthur Ashe Stadium. Though he has been bothered by injuries in recent years, Nadal has been in fine form in recent weeks. He competed in the 2016 Rio Olympics, where he won the men’s doubles gold medal but crashed out of competition in the men’s singles semis against Juan Martin Del Potro. At the 1997 US Open, the tennis world was properly introduced to the bubbly 17-year-old Venus Williams, who delighted crowds but whose remarkable achievements unsettled many within the sport. Racial tensions had been bubbling throughout Venus’s run to the final in 1997, and came to the boil in the semi-final when Williams’ Romanian opponent Irina Spirlea appeared to deliberately bump into the American at a change of ends. Spirlea laughed menacingly after the incident and said after the match, "she thinks she's the ----ing Venus Williams.” Venus’s outspoken father Richard was not impressed by what he had seen and called Spirlea a "big tall white turkey".

The total prize-money compensation for the 2016 US Open will be $46.3 million, a 10% increase on the same total last year. Of that total, a record $3.5 will go to both the men’s and women's singles champions. This would make the US Open the most lucrative and highest paying tennis grand slam in the world, leapfrogging Wimbledon in total prize money fund. Prize money for the US Open Qualifying Tournament is also up 10 percent, to $1.9 million.[5][6] The top three men’s and top three women’s finishers in the 2016 US Open Series also earn bonus prize money at the US Open, with the champions of the Series Bonus Challenge having the opportunity to win $1 million in addition to their tournament prize money.[7] The tournament is played on hard courts and takes place over a series of 17 courts with DecoTurf surface, including the three main showcourts – Arthur Ashe Stadium, Louis Armstrong Stadium and Grandstand. It will be the first US Open played on courts with operational roofs, on centre court and on the newly built Grandstand stadium. The Ashe roof is expected to be used only for rain, unlike the Australian Open, which also closes its roof in cases of extreme heat.[1] It will also be the last tournament before the demolition of the Louis Armstrong Stadium. For the second year running, the US Open is scheduled across 14 days, rather than the 15-day schedule of 2013 and 2014, which has impact on all senior events. Women's singles semifinals have been scheduled for September 8 evening session, while men's singles semifinal matches will be played on Friday September 9. The men's doubles final will be played before the women's singles final on Saturday September 10, and the men's singles final will follow the women's doubles final on Sunday September 11.
