The 2024 Cinch Championships will run from June 19th to 25th, and the prize money on offer makes it an exciting tournament.
Ahead of the only grass-court Grand Slam in the calendar, there aren't many tournaments in which players could prepare for the event, which gives 2000 points to the champion and millions in prize money.
One of the best such tournaments is the Cinch Championships, often called also the Queen's Club Championships or simply Queen's Club, and that's due to a variety of reasons.
It's an ATP 500 tournament, and that means it offers a sizeable amount of prize money, but also points to players, making their participation felt both on their bank accounts and rankings.
The other reason is that the tournament is located in London, United Kingdom, the same city that hosts the Wimbledon Championships, meaning players don't have to move a lot prior to the major.
This year, the entry list includes the likes of the youngest World No. 1 in the history of men's tennis, Carlos Alcaraz, who will make his debut at the tournament. But the Spaniard isn't the only youngster set to compete.
Holger Rune, who just played two ATP 1000 clay-court finals, will want to bring his form to the grass courts. American players, including Taylor Fritz, Frances Tiafoe, Sebastian Korda, and Ben Shelton, will also compete at the tournament.
Former world no. 1 and two-time Wimbledon champion Andy Murray has withdrawn from Roland Garros to focus on his grass-court preparation, and he, too, will compete at the tournament.
All of the players will fight for their share of a total of 2,195,175€ in prize money. The champion will naturally get the biggest share, taking home 477,795€ in addition to 500 ATP points.
The runner-up at the Queen's Club will get 300 points and 220,880€, while both losing semi-finalists will go home with 180 ranking points and extra 117,715€ in their bank accounts.
Players who will lose in the first round won't get any points, but they will get 17,120€. To see the full overview of the prize money and points distribution for the 2023 Cinch Championships at the Queen's Club, be sure to check it out below.
