US Open to break $50 million prize barrier
Prize money at this year's US Open
Washington - Muslimchronicle
Prize money at this year's US Open will top $50 million (43.3 million euros), organisers confirmed Tuesday, once again making the tournament the richest event in tennis.
The United States Tennis Association said in a statement that the tournament purse had been increased by $4 million, taking it up to $50.4 million in total.
The winners of the men's and women's singles will each pocket $3.7 million, while prize money for each round would increase by an average of 7.5 percent compared to 2016.
The men's and women's doubles champions would take home $675,000 while the purse for the qualifying tournament had increased to $2.9 million -- a 49.2 percent increase over last year.
"Five years ago, we committed to the players that total player compensation for players would reach $50 million at the US Open, and we are honoring that commitment," USTA chairman Katrina Adams said in a statement.
This year's US Open will be held from August 28 to September 10.

To 'eternal style' of late Alaia
Paris - Muslimchronicle
Two months after legendary designer Azzedine Alaia's sudden death plunged the fashion world into mourning, an exhibition in homage to the "King of Cling" opened Monday in his studios in Paris. The Tunisian-born designer, renowned for the way his clothes hugged the body, died suddenly in November aged 82, reportedly of heart failure after falling down the stairs at his home. The diminutive maverick, who ignored fashion week convention by showing when and where he wanted, in July produced his first couture collection in six years to rapturous reviews. Now some of his most iconic dresses are going on display in the glass-roofed gallery next to his studio and home in the Marais district where he used to show his creations.
