The 2016 U.S. Open is less than two months away, and players have a couple of hundred thousand more reasons to get excited.

The United States Tennis Association announced Tuesday that singles winners will each receive a record $3.5 million (£2.6 million) in prize money, an increase from $3.3 million (£2.5 million) last year. 

But which players are most likely to cash in? 

Andy Murray and Serena Williams, winners at Wimbledon, will be among the favorites to claim the U.S. Open titles. Finalists Milos Raonic and Angelique Kerber will certainly be in the mix.

Novak Djokovic remains world No. 1 by a wide margin. However, Murray has gained ground on the Serb, cutting into what once seemed like an insurmountable lead. Has the Scot's Wimbledon win stifled his rival's momentum?

And what about Roger Federer? How will he bounce back from such a painful semifinals loss at the All England Club? 

On the WTA Tour, Maria Sharapova's drug suspension appeal has been postponed until September, which guarantees that she'll miss the U.S. Open for the third time in four years.

Victoria Azarenka hasn't played since she retired at the French Open. 

Meanwhile, Kerber has established herself as the clear No. 2. Will other top players, such as Simona Halep, have anything to say about that? 

The following are early predictions for the U.S. Open.
