World No. 1 Rafael Nadal was presented with the 2008 Olympus US Open Series men’s trophy before his post game press conference. This gives Nadal the chance to compete for $2.5 million, the largest payout in tennis history at the 2008 US Open -- ($1.5 million for winning the US Open and a $1 million bonus for winning the US Open and the Olympus US Open Series).
The US Open Series is the six-week summer tennis "season" leading up to the US Open that links the ATP Tour and Sony Ericsson WTA Tour tournaments together.
