The best female tennis players in the world descend on New York City this week in advance of the U.S. Open, which kicks off on Monday. The top prize: $3.8 million for the women’s singles champ, the richest purse in tennis history.
The U.S. Open was the first tournament to offer equal prize money to men and women, in 1973, and tennis remains the prime outlet for the highest-earning female athletes, with eight of the top 10 slots. It is the one sport where earnings opportunities are at least in the same universe as they are for the men, as opposed to, say, basketball, in which average salaries in the NBA are 100 times their female counterparts in the WNBA.
