Show me the money

One thing which went unnoticed when Marion Bartoli advanced to the Pilot Pen quarterfinals with a win over Tsvetana Pironkova on Tuesday was that she clinched the No. 2 spot in the women's U.S. Open Series.

Dinara Safina had already clinched the top spot with 170 points and will receive a 100 percent bonus of her U.S. Open singles earnings. Bartoli will get a 50 percent bonus for finishing second. She currently has 105 points and would max out at 160 points. Dominika Cibulkova is currently third with 85 points but Anna Chakvetadze would pass Cibulkova and receive a 25 percent bonus if she wins the Pilot Pen. Rafael Nadal, Andy Murray and Juan Martin Del Potro are the top three finishers in the men's U.S. Open Series.
