Great for Tara and what an opportunity!


In the mens event in WS, apparently Noah Rubin didnt get first round $ when he replaced and lost instead of Nick K. He got qualifiers $. Is it the same for WTA or can Tara hope for a good pay day?

Its complicated. It depends on if the player she is replacing is eligible for a prize money withdrawal and opts to take it. A player can opt to take 1st round prize money if they are on site when they withdraw at 2 WTA tournaments a year (but not consecutive tournaments). The lucky loser gets qualifying prize money plus main draw prize money less any 1st round prize money paid to the withdrawing player.
