The 2023 Chengdu Open is one of four ATP tournaments taking centre stage on Chinese soil and which will run from September 20th to 26th, offering $1,152,805 in prize money.
It is one of the most lucrative ATP 250s on the tennis calendar with a very competitive field in its fifth edition. The Chengdu Open has a spectacular venue with modern facilities. The centre court's seating capacity stands at 6,000, which is pretty decent for an event of this tournament category.
It is also one of the very few ATP 250s that has a prize money purse in seven digits. Three of the world's Top 20 players will make the trip to China's fourth-most populous city, with Germany's Alexander Zverev being the tournament's star attraction.
It speaks volumes of the tournament's ambitions to welcome one of the world's top players. Zverev will be joined in the 28-player field by a multitude of one-handers including Daniel Evans, Lorenzo Musetti, Grigor Dimitrov, and Dusan Lajovic.
There will always be a place in the lineup for Roberto Bautista Agut, a former top-20 player who hasn't played since July. Defending champion Pablo Carreno Busta is a long-term absentee and won't make the trip to Chengdu.
The champion at the 2023 Chengdu Open will walk away with a paycheck amounting to $175,340 along with 250 ranking points. This is a slight decrease from the $191,030 that Carreno Busta earned in 2019, with the tournament allocating that difference to the players beneath the overall winner.
The losing finalist won't go home empty-handed, with the tournament promising $102,285 for their efforts and 150 points. The semifinalist will take with him $60,130 and 90 ranking points. Those players who will win at least two matches will get to the quarterfinals. Should they lose there, they'll still be rewarded, earning $34,840 and bagging 45 points.
Losing in the second round will get players at least over half of what quarterfinalists earn, which translates to $20,230. Those who lose in the first round won't get any points but will still bank a cool $12,365.
