The 2024 Bastad Open is an ATP 250 event that will take place from July 15th to 21st and will serve as a warm-up tournament for the Olympics.
This year’s tournament is unlike any of the previous editions. A slew of top-ranked ATP stars will jet into the Swedish city to compete, not just for an ATP title but to refine their games ahead of the Olympic Games in Paris.
One of those who has ambitions to win an Olympic gold medal for a third time is Rafael Nadal. The Spaniard is making his first trip to Bastad in 19 years. But he’s not the only big-name star in the 32-player singles field.
World No. 1 Jannik Sinner has also committed to play, as will 2021 champion Casper Ruud and the defending champion Andrey Rublev, who contested last year's final.
But most of the elite cohort will be coming to Sweden without any accumulated mileage on clay courts because of their attention to grass, and they could be caught cold.
Therefore, the likes of Roberto Carballes Baena, Roberto Bautista Agut, Marianna Navone, and Thiago Montero will fancy their chances of springing a surprise given their pedigree on the surface.
Details of prize money for the event have been revealed. The 32-player singles field will vie for a share of €579,320. Distribution of prize money in the main draw will begin from the first round.
Those who fall at this stage will pocket €6,215 but will not receive any ranking points. However, winning at least one main draw match guarantees payment of €10,165 and 25 points.
Players who make it to the sharp end of the draw stand to gain the most in prize money. Therefore, the quarterfinalists will receive €17,510 along with 50 points. Players who exit the tournament in the semi-final stage will each receive €30,220 and be awarded 100 points.
The two men competing in the 2024 Bastad Open final will receive a huge share of the purse. The champion will bank a paycheck amounting to €88,125 in addition to receiving 250 points that could elevate his status in the ATP rankings
