Next week, the final week of clay-court tournaments before the 2025 French Open begins, including the
ATP 500 event at the 2025
Hamburg Open.
After a few years of being played in July after Wimbledon, the German tournament got moved to the week before Roland Garros. The 2025 Geneva Open, which is ATP 250-level, will occur simultaneously with the Hamburg Open.
World No. 1 Jannik Sinner was the most high-profile player on the entry list, but withdrew after getting to the final of the 2025 Italian Open with
an incredible 6-0, 6-1 quarterfinal triumph against Casper Ruud and a semifinal win over Tommy Paul.
Tournament organizers were undoubtedly relieved when that blow was softened by home favorite and world No. 2
Alexander Zverev accepting a wild card into the tournament in an effort to get match wins before the French Open.
Zverev finished as the runner-up in the 2024 iteration of the event to Arthur Fils, but the Frenchman is not playing this year.
Andrey Rublev and
Jakub Mensik are among the other names on the entry list.
All the men competing in Hamburg will battle for the largest share of the
prize money offered. The tournament's ATP 500 status means it offers more financial rewards than the Geneva Open is able to.
The 2025 Hamburg Open champion will receive €403,665 for that achievement. 500 ranking points are also given to the winner, which would alter the ranking of several men on the entry list.
Zverev is guaranteed to be No. 3 when the latest rankings are released on Monday, and cannot move any higher than that position after the Hamburg Open because Carlos Alcaraz opened up a significant points lead after reaching the final in Rome.
The runner-up in Hamburg will receive €217,200 and 330 ranking points. Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal, and Carlos Alcaraz are some of the players who have been losing finalists at the tournament.
Pedro Martinez and Sebastian Baez were the defeated semifinalists at the 2024 Hamburg Open. The two men who replicate that achievement are set to collect €115,755 and 200 ranking points for their efforts at the ATP 500 tournament.
The financial rewards drop from six figures to five figures for all the other rounds. Nonetheless, the four quarterfinalists will still get a decent remuneration of €59,140, as well as 100 ranking points.
For those who automatically qualified for the main draw, only one win is needed to reach the round of 16. The players who lose at that stage will be given €31,570 and 50 ranking points, which is still not bad.
No ranking points are awarded at ATP 500 tournaments for players who fall in the round of 32, but they will still be handed €16,835. That money can benefit lower-ranked qualifiers trying to make a living in the sport.
Fans should be treated to much great tennis in Hamburg. Sinner's withdrawal does not alter the fact that several outstanding players are on the entry list for the tournament who are capable of entertaining the fans with tickets.
