The US Open, tennis' fourth and final Grand Slam of the year, takes place in Queens, New York. There is a lot of money up for grabs, as total player compensation for the Open is $60 million. That is more prize money than this year's Australian Open ($52 million), Wimbledon ($49 million) and French Open ($49 million).

Along with the prize money comes some blockbuster names, including Serena Williams, who has announced she will retire after the US Open. Rafael Nadal will look to tie Williams' Grand Slam record (23) in New York. American Coco Gauff is riding serious momentum after making the French Open final earlier this year.

Some notable names who won't be present in New York: Novak Djokovic, Alexander Zverev, Angelique Kerber and Sania Mirza have each withdrawn from the tournament.
