The
St. Petersburg Open is an ATP 250 event that is hosted in the beautiful city of St. Petersburg, Russia and has a rich history with several talented players lifting the trophy.
Conceived in 1995 when it was won by Russian Yevgeny Kafelnikov, the title has seen a host of home talent emerge victorious at the end of the event. World No.2
Daniil Medvedev lifted the trophy in 2019, with compatriot
Andrey Rublev capturing it last year.
The prize pool is hefty enough to draw top players, as Rublev will be returning to defend his title. Joining him are countryman
Aslan Karatsev, World No.15
Denis Shapovalov and former Top 10 star
Roberto Bautista Agut.
The winner receives $84,720 with 250 ATP ranking points, while the runner-up gets $60,740 with 150 points. The points and prize money will decrease the earlier a player gets eliminated from the tournament, with a more extended breakdown available below.
