context_page_description: The US Open women's singles championship is an annual tennis event that is being held since 1887 as part of the US Open tournament. The tournament is played on outdoor hard courts at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center in Flushing Meadows – Corona Park, New York City.
  The US Open is played during a two-week period in late August and early September and has been chronologically the last of the four Grand Slam tournaments of the tennis year since 1987. The Philadelphia Cricket Club and Forest Hills hosted the event before it settled in 1978 at its current site. The United States Tennis Association is the national body that organizes this event.
  The champion receives a full-size replica of the event's trophy engraved with her name. In 2016, the winner received prize money of US$3,500,000. A bonus pool of US$1,000,000 is also paid to US Open champions who finished in first place during the US Open Series.
