ATP Qatar Open Prize Money Explained: How much can Carlos Alcaraz or Arthur Fils earn

Following on from the women, the men will be ready to take centre stage in the Qatar Open as some of the best tennis players in the world are set to jostle for glory and the hugely tantalising rewards that come alongside it.

It is set to be played out between February 16-22 in the capital city of Doha as the Middle East swing continues to progress.

There will be some huge names vying for the title, none bigger than the current world number one, Carlos Alcaraz. Already the 22-year-old has a title to his name, picking up an incredible Australian Open triumph to cement his name among the greats who have won every Grand Slam. He will be looking to be the latest Spaniard to taste success in Doha as he aims to continue a flawless 2026.

The challengers are not far behind, with four-time Grand Slam champion Jannik Sinner looking to put behind the huge disappointment of losing out in the semi-final of the Australian Open to an inspired Novak Djokovic. The Serbian would then go on to lose a first-ever final in Melbourne to the hands of Alcaraz, with both players hugely motivated to get back on track with a title while continuing to play the world-class tennis that they produced at Melbourne Park.

Two other top 10 players will come off the back of competing in Rotterdam, in the form of Felix Auger-Aliassime and Alexander Bublik. The pair both already have titles to their name in 2026. Auger-Aliassime picked up the spoils in the recent Open Occitanie while Bublik won out in the opening week of action in the Hong Kong Open.

Both players will be dangerous, and the same can be said for the reigning champion Andrey Rublev, albeit he is still slightly out of form compared to his usual standards. A regular in the top 10 for many years, the Russian has slipped out of it and could fall further down if unable to defend the ranking points earned. Jack Draper’s fate is already sealed with his withdrawal. The British number one lost to Rublev last year and is still not in the ideal condition to compete on the biggest stage yet.

A brace of Russian in the form of Daniil Medvedev and Karen Khachanov will also make the trip to Doha, both respectively taking the title in 2023 and 2024 as they look to keep up the Russian dominance. Czechia tennis fans eagerly awaiting the results of their trio Jakub Mensik, Jiri Lehecka and Tomas Machac, with the likes of Stefanos Tsitsipas and Denis Shapovalov looking to roll back the years with a deep run.

A total of $2,833,335 is on the line to be won in Doha. The winner will be taking home a very generous $529,945 which accompanied by a tantalising 500 ranking points. The runner-up will have to settle for $285,095 and 330 ranking points.

Semi-finalist losers will be earning $151,935 as well as 200 ranking points with quarter-finalists taking home $77,625 and 100 ranking points. A defeat in the last-16 is worth $41,435 and 50 ranking points with zero wins in the Qatar capital getting the players just $22,095 and a grand total of zero ranking points.
