The 2024 Berlin Open is one of two WTA grass-court tournaments held in Germany in the buildup to Wimbledon. It will run from June 17th to 23rd.
Details of prize money for this year's edition have been revealed. Thirty-two players will vie to win one of the most competitive WTA 500s on tour. Although the tournament has been played on clay for many years, it changed surfaces in 2021.
Russia's Liudmila Samsonova and Tunisia's Ons Jabeur are the two former champions who will play this year. Last year's winner, Petra Kvitova, is currently on maternity leave.
So, the chances of crowning a new champion are high, with plenty of the world's top players committed to warming up in Berlin before heading to Wimbledon.
That said, the big favorites will be the WTA's top four, which includes Iga Swiatek, Coco Gauff, Aryna Sabalenka, and 2022 Wimbledon champion Elena Rybakina.
Jessica Pegula has fully recovered from the injury that kept her out of action during the clay swing and intends to play a lot of grass-court tennis. This is one of three tune-up tournaments for the American.
Big hitters like Marketa Vondrousova, Ekaterina Alexandrova, and Caroline Garcia are capable of pulling off an upset or two in the draw, as they have shown on this surface in the past.
The total prize money for the 2024 Berlin Open is $922,573, which is the standard for WTA 500 events this season. The distribution will begin in earnest from the first round.
Qualifying for the main draw of this high-profile tournament guarantees a paycheck of $8,860 and 1 ranking point. Those who reach the second round but don't make it to the quarterfinal will earn $13,170 and receive 60 points.
Quarterfinalists will pocket $24,200 and receive 108 points, which can make a difference for players seeking a seeding spot for Wimbledon. Semifinalists will be rewarded with $51,205 and 195 points.
The champion for the 2024 Berlin Open will secure $142,000 and the full 500 points. The runner-up, meanwhile, will earn $87,655 and 325 points. Be sure to check the complete breakdown in prize money and points allocation below.

- If Jessica Pegula had to undergo such horror for using a bannes substance, so do these two tennis players. Penalty should apply to all players regardless of their excuses. They are professionals and know better!!
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
