Sharapova wins U.S. Open Series

With 122 points, Maria Sharapova is the winner of this year's U.S. Open Series. If Jelena Jankovic had won the Rogers Cup today, she would have surpassed Sharapova, but she did not. And if Patty Schnyder would have won this week's Pilot Pen Tennis tournament in New Haven, she would have surpassed Sharapova. But Schnyder was taken out in the first round today, so Sharapova is the clear winner.

If Sharapova defends her U.S. Open title, she will get a $1 million bonus. If she is the finalist, she will get a $500,000 bonus. If she makes it no farther than the semifinals of the U.S. Open, she will get a $250,000 bonus, and so forth. If Jankovic wins the U.S. Open, she will get a $500,000 bonus. Here is the breakdown.
