The 2023 Houston Open is a rare clay-court event held in the United States, and the field and prize money on offer will certainly make it an interesting tournament in 2023.
The 2023 Houston Open, which is an ATP 250 event, also called the U.S. Men's Clay-Court Championships, provides a prize pool of $718,245, which players will fight for on the clay courts in Houston.
The entry list for the 2023 event includes the likes of Frances Tiafoe, Tommy Paul, and John Isner, who will be among the top favorites and also players that fans will want to see in Houston.
The champion of the Houston Open will get the biggest share of the prize money on offer. The winner in Houston will take home $97,760 and also add 250 ATP ranking points to their name.
The runner-up, on the other hand, will receive much less, but still a significant amount to forget the final loss. The second-best player will walk away with $57,025 and 150 points.
The two players reaching the semi-finals of the Houston Open will earn $33,525 each as well as 90 points, and four players who will lose in the quarter-finals will each receive $19,425 and 45 points.
Those who lose already in the first round of the tournament won't be too happy, as they won't collect any ATP ranking points, and the financial award will amount only to $6,895, which might not even be sufficient to cover all the expenses related to the tournament for some.
Making the second round already provides a better reward, as those who lose on the second hurdle will take home $11,280 but also 20 ATP ranking points. The full prize money and points overview for the 2023 Houston Open can be seen below.
