That good one can handle everything. That's why it's the only one left.

Per Spiceboy, it appears Simona has had a change of heart for the USO. She's coming as well as Belinda B and Svitolina, while K. Bertens is wavering. The only top-10er not showing up is Ashleigh. For the ladies it's a full house. But, for the men not so much with Roger injured, Rafael declining and Novak wavering. It appears this USO is going to be a ladies event, prize money reduced somewhat.

Prize money for this USO will be reduced due to this virus. Yet, the winner will still earn 3 mil., a drop by 850k. Overall prize money is still 54 mil with no spectators anticipated.

Rex,

I was perplexed and had to re-read that thrice, lol. I'm concentrating on something else and can't follow the link right now, so does it say each winner will win $3M, or does each have to split it resulting in $1.5M each??

Thanks

Yes, Dj', each winner will earn 3 mil. Further, the article indicates tho' the winner's prize has been cut by 850k, the lst rounder's prize money went up to 61k. The prize money for a lst rounder is likely why the ladies draw is practically full, the top-100 showing up, unlike the men. Coupled with the Cincy event some players could earn 100k or more for just playing the 2 events, plus doubles, health risks notwithstanding.
