The 2024 Marseille Open will be the 32nd edition of the tournament held at the multipurpose arena, Palais des Sports de Marseille, from February 5th to 11th.
The entry list for this historic ATP 250 event has been released. Once again, tournament organizers have worked relentlessly to assemble one of the most competitive fields for an event classified in this lower category.
World No. 4 Jannik Sinner is the biggest name in the draw. The Italian will look to repay the tournament and the fans who did not see him in action last season following his late withdrawal due to illness.
Sinner's challenge during the week in France will most likely come from defending champion Hubert Hurkacz, who saved a match point en route to the title last year. Grigor Dimitrov will look to continue his fine form on hard courts and enter this tournament as the number three seed.
All the top eight seeds at this event are ranked in the world's Top 30, including big-hitting Karen Khachanov, Jan-Lennard Struff, and one-handed Italian Lorenzo Musetti. 2008 champion Andy Murray intends to leave the stage at the end of the year, and he'll be looking to sign off with a title.
This year's prize money stands at €724,015 - representing a 2.4% increase from last season and which is the highest in the tournament's history to match the level of the playing field. The champion is set to garner a whopping €110,115, just slightly higher from 2023.
The tournament winner will also receive the full 250 ranking points. The beaten finalist, meanwhile, will earn €64,240 and will add 165 points next to their ATP ranking. Semifinalists make a lot less than those who reach the championship match. Their pay amounts to €37,765.
Additionally, losing semifinalists are awarded 100 points thanks to the revised changes to the points distribution by the ATP. Prize money allocation starts in the first round. Those who depart early take home €7,765.
Players who win at least one main draw match will earn €12,705 along with 25 points. We have compiled the breakdown in prize money and points for the 2024 Marseille Open below.
