NEW YORK — Play in the year's last Grand Slam tennis tournament is scheduled to begin at the U.S. Open on Monday. The defending champions are Coco Gauff and Novak Djokovic. Aryna Sabalenka and Carlos Alcaraz are the betting favorites. Iga Swiatek is the top-seeded woman, and Jannik Sinner leads the men's seeds. The total amount of player compensation — prize money and travel expenses — rises to a record $75 million in 2024. That is $10 million more than a year ago. The women's and men's singles champions each will earn $3.6 million.
