2010 US Open Series

In tennis, the seventh edition of the US Open Series (known as Olympus US Open Series for sponsorships reasons), includes ten hard court tournaments that started on July 19, 2010 in Atlanta and ended in New Haven, Connecticut on August 29, 2010. This edition has scheduled five separate men's tournaments, four women's tournaments, and the Pilot Pen Tennis Tournament that will host both a men's and women's event. The series included two ATP World Tour Masters 1000 and two WTA Premier 5 events to headline the series.

Point distribution for series events

To be included in the standings and subsequently the bonus prize money, a player had to have countable results from two different tournaments. Players finishing in the top three in the series can earn up to $1 million in extra prize money at the US Open. Roger Federer received the largest US Open pay day of $2.4 million in 2007 after capturing the title in both the US Open Series and the US Open championship.

WTA - Western & Southern Financial Group Women's Open

Defending champion Jelena Janković, Caroline Wozniacki, Victoria Azarenka, Kim Clijsters, and Maria Sharapova headlined the event. Azarenka, the Stanford champion, suffered the first major upset of the tournament, losing in the first round to former world number one Ana Ivanovic, who entered the tournament ranked World No. 62 and having lost 17 of her last 29 matches dating back to August 2009, despite having served for the match at 54 in the second set. French Open champion Francesca Schiavone was the biggest second round casualty, going down to Elena Vesnina. The third round brought three more stunning results as top seeds Janković and Wozniacki, as well as Vera Zvonareva were all defeated in straight sets. The quarter-finals went to rank, with the exception of Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova, who joined Ivanovic, as a surprise semifinalist of the tournament. The two semi-finals saw Clijsters and Sharapova both advance in contrasting circumstances; Clijsters won through after Ana Ivanovic was forced to retire in the first set due to a foot injury, whilst Sharapova needed three sets to defeat Pavlyuchenkova. Despite having championship points, Sharapova lost to Clijsters in a blockbuster final.
