Sponsors are proud to announce their sponsorship. We only get this much post-match coverage at the US Open. It’s normal.

as far as I recall, could be Evert mentioned it, hard to tell, as we kinda don't listen to her constant babbling about nothing.

I may have heard they changed the prize structure, so those way down the ladder made a few bucks, plus they paid hotel costs.

with players who were barely ranked and made it thru a few rounds, some earned more at the open than they had in their entire careers.

Chrissie and JohnnyMac have the stage they have. Both ramble on about matches decades ago, Chrissie sounds like a gossiper at the beauty salon. Do enjoy the early rounds with unknown commentators, they announce stuff like the score and stuff, then shut up while the ball is in play.
