The 2024 China Open is one of the most financially attractive ATP 500 tournaments, and the prize money details have been unveiled for the tournament held in Beijing.
The first iteration of the China Open was in 1993. Since then, it has become one of the most important and prestigious ATP 500 events on the calendar, attracting large crowds and great players every year.
Novak Djokovic is the most successful player in the tournament's history, having won it six times. Rafael Nadal, Andy Roddick, and Dominic Thiem are other high-profile men to have lifted the title in Beijing.
US Open champion Jannik Sinner is the defending champion at the China Open. Carlos Alcaraz, who will play at the Laver Cup, Alexander Zverev, and Daniil Medvedev are the other players on a superb entry list for the event.
The 2024 China Open will be held from September 26th to October 2nd, and the players will be handsomely rewarded for their efforts because the event offers more prize money than any other ATP 500 tournament on the 2024 calendar.
This year's prize money pot for the China Open is $3,720,165. That could give the players on the entry list even more motivation than they normally have at ATP 500 events.
The 2024 China Open champion will receive a substantial $675,750. If that vast financial incentive was not enough, the winner of the tournament in the Chinese capital will also receive 500 ranking points.
Losing finals is always difficult for any player on the ATP or WTA Tour. However, $374,340 in prize money and 330 ranking points is a more than decent consolation for the runner-up.
Semifinalists will receive almost $200,000 for being among the four best players at this year's China Open. The precise reward for the men who get past the first three rounds is $199,495 and 200 ranking points.
Losing quarterfinalists will still be awarded a six-figure sum. Those players are set to pocket $101,925 and 100 points for their efforts at the ATP Tour's most lucrative 500-level event.
Some out-of-form players or recently returning players, such as Cameron Norrie and Adrian Mannarino, are on the China Open entry list. For them, getting one victory in China might feel significant.
If they are to pick up one victory at any ATP 500 tournament, the China Open is the best place to do it. Players who lost in the second round receive $54,405 in prize money and 50 ranking points.
No ranking points are awarded to players who lose in the first round. However, they will still receive a healthy $29,015 in prize money. The superb entry list and lucrative prize money on offer at the China Open mean 2024 could be the best iteration in the tournament's history.

Stella112-12-2024 - All players should be treated the same for taking banned substances, if your no 1 in the world or no 300 man or woman you should not be allowed to keep playing,,VPH108-12-2024

- IDK, it looks like to me that Raducanu should praise herself and her team for 'gaming the system' as in playing the points and ranking game. When you look at her season of wild cards, skipping tournaments (including the Paris Olympics!), retiring from losing matches and avoiding qualifying rounds, it seems like there was some plan to move up the ranks without actually playing a lot of tennis. And it worked! Congrats!RealityCheckers04-12-2024
