Like in almost any sports tournament, the deeper you finish, the more money you get at the end. And as for this week’s event in Washington, the eventual champion shall receive almost half a million dollars ($348,200). That’s more than a $30, 000 increase compared to how much last year’s champion, Kei Nishikori, received.
Speaking of which, Nishikori, who was forced out of Wimbledon 2016 due to injury, won’t be back to defend his crown. This now leaves the road slightly more open for John Isner, the 2015 runner-up, to finally lay claim to his first-ever Citi Open title.
If ever Isner comes up short again, he shouldn’t feel too bad since the losing finalist is guaranteed to be given $165, 555, which is almost half of the winner’s earnings.
