In tennis, the 2017 US Open Series was the fourteenth edition of the US Open Series, which comprised a group of hard court tournaments that started on July 24, 2017 in Atlanta and concluded in Connecticut for the women and in Winston-Salem for the men on August 26, 2017. This edition consisted of three separate men's tournaments and three women's tournaments, with the Western & Southern Open hosting both a men's and women's event.[1][2] The series was headlined by two ATP World Tour Masters 1000 and two WTA Premier 5 events.

Discontinuation of the Bonus Challenge

edit

The 2017 US Open Series is the first edition of the series not to feature the Bonus Challenge.[3] In previous years, players had been eligible for additional prize money, based on a combination of their finish in the series and their finish in the US Open itself, with the maximum amount of money being awarded to a player who won both.
