The US Open drew to a close yesterday afternoon, as Roger Federer beat Andy Murray in three sets. Federer claimed his 13th grand slam victory and vowed to try to win another one, because staying at 13 would be so unlucky. On the women's side of things, Serena Williams rallied through two sets to beat Jelena Jankovic.
Along with gaining another grand slam title and the silver chalice, how much did these folks win in prize money? Take this quiz and see if you can show me the US Open Money.

FYI....
The prize money is equal....it's up to the players to collect it.
1Andy was awarded more prize money as a bonus for playing in all of the OPEN series tournaments this summer they are a build up to the US OPEN. The women can also collect the bonus money but women in the semi-finals they didn't play in all of the series. Dinara Safina would have won the bonus if she made to the semi finals because she did play in all of the tournaments in the OPEN series.
culinarygirl,
Thanks for the extra details on the bonus money!
2How come Serena didn't get a Lexus? Anyone know?
3Conflicting reports - 1) Lexus sponsored the Men's Draw & jp Morgan Chase sponsored the Women's side so no Lexus for Serena or 2) they both got Lexuses
4Oh wow, forget the prize money, look at her biceps in that pic!
