- Roger Federer is prepared to champion the cause of lower-ranked players on the ATP Tour and said at the U.S. Open on Wednesday that he would fight to ensure a bigger share of the prize pot for them in future.
Speaking after a 3-6 6-2 6-3 6-4 win over Bosnian Damir Dzumhur, Federer said the prize money for players at the top of the sport had improved significantly since he began playing but that was not the case at the other end of the spectrum. “That’s going to be what we’re going to fight for ... I know tournaments don’t find it very sexy giving to first round qualies or second-round qualies,” Federer told reporters.
Men’s and women’s champions at Flushing Meadows earn $3.85 million each, while the first round appearance fee is $58,000, up by $4,000 from last year.
