Mens semi final at US Open today. Carreño Busta (doesn’t he look like Ben Affleck? ⇓) lost to Zverev after winning the first two sets.
Medvedev’s sarcastic manner isn’t endearing. (⇑ middle: Still remember the bad hair cut of the Russian male players back then?) He was born in Moscow in 1996, tuned pro in 2014 and prize money is $11.2 mil, average $1.8 a year. Thiem (⇑ right) born in Austria in 1993, turned pro in 2011 and his prize money is $23.8m, average $2.3 a year. Neither of them have won a grand slam.
This US Open pays $3m to the winner (1.5 m to runner up), semi final takes home $800k. The two are fight over the second spot in the final, it’s $1.5m or $3m, and $800k difference in prize.
