Nadal, 33, will play in his 27th Grand Slam final and is looking to claim a fourth U.S. Open, while Medvedev, 23, is competing in his first ever major final.The total payout for the tournamentover the last several decades. In 1973, when the men and women competitors earned equal pay for the first time, both champions received checks for $25,000.

Isner, like other top ranked players, is in the fortunate situation where he doesn't have to rely on just prize money to cover his expenses: He has a handful of sponsorship deals, which are "the closest thing to a guaranteed annual salary that a player has," he says.
