Player representatives have also not seen the figures. However, if you allow for 10% growth to the $559.7m (£410.5m) the US Open generated in revenue in 2024, then prize money of $98.5m would have be in line with player expectations.The USTA says the financial statement will be published before the start of the main draw. Chief executive Craig Tiley, who previously headed up Tennis Australia, described the offer as “a significant first step in a multi-year investment in athletes”.In a BBC interview in March, world number three Jessica Pegula highlighted how last year’s US Open increase was targeted primarily at…

Manchester United head coach Michael Carrick says it is “ridiculous” to say his team have a favourable start to the Premier League season.Carrick’s side head to Championship play-off winners Hull on Saturday, before facing Ipswich, another newly promoted side, in their first game at Old Trafford on 30 August.It has sparked claims that United should hit the ground running and maintain the winning form that brought them a third-place finish last season and led to Carrick being appointed on a permanent basis.Carrick thinks the assessment is badly wrong.”A newly promoted team away from home is a tough game,” said Carrick.”I’ve…
