World No. 4 Andy Murray and 2009 US Open finalist Caroline Wozniacki officially clinched the 2010 Olympus US Open Series men’s and women’s titles.
For Murray, who won the Rogers Masters in Toronto and reached the final of the Farmers Classic in Los Angeles, this is the first Olympus US Open Series title, after finishing in second place each of the last two years. Roger Federer and Mardy Fish finish in second and third place, respectively.
Wozniacki, who won the Rogers Cup in Montreal, also clinched her first Series title after advancing to the semifinals in New Haven via a walkover against Flavia Pennetta. Kim Clijsters finishes the Series in second place, while Svetlana Kuznetsova takes third place.
This is the seventh season of the Olympus US Open Series, which consists of the 10 summer North American hardcourt events (five men's and five women's events) leading up to the US Open.
Murray and Wozniacki will now compete for the largest payout in tennis history at the 2010 US Open -- $2.7 million ($1.7 million for winning the US Open and a $1 million bonus for winning the US Open and the Olympus US Open Series). Federer and Clijsters will compete for up to $500,000 in bonus prize money, while Fish and Kuznetsova will compete for up to $250,000.
