The
Canadian Open will distribute nearly 10 million dollars in prizes, with the
men's champion receiving 150% more than the women's champion.
From August
7th to 13th, the highly anticipated 2023 Canadian Open, also known as the
National Bank Open, will take place, featuring a prominent ATP and WTA 1000
tournament on the hard court circuit in the United States.

The men's
competition will have a total prize purse of $6,600,000, while the women's
category will compete for a sum of $2,788,468.
Among the
participants in the ATP tournament, there are prominent figures including the
top three seeds Carlos Alcaraz, Novak Djokovic, and Daniil Medvedev.
On the
other hand, the list of participants in the WTA category also includes the top
female players of the moment, such as Iga Swiatek, Aryna Sabalenka, and Elena
Rybakina.
It is worth
noting that due to the disparity in prizes and points distribution between the
ATP and WTA events, the rewards structure is different. The male champion will
earn 1000 ATP points and a prize of $1,019,335, while the winner of the women's
draw will receive 900 WTA points and $454,500.
The
difference in prizes and points is evident in each round of the tournament as
well. In the first round, the men will earn 10 ranking points and a reward of
$26,380, while the women will receive only 1 point and $12,848 in prizes for
the same achievement.
As they
progress in the competition and reach the second round, ATP players will
accumulate 45 points and win $47,260, while WTA competitors will be rewarded
with 60 points and $17,930.
The
tournament is played alternately in Montreal and Toronto and the current
champions are Simona Halep and Pablo Carreño Busta.
The
Romanian player will continue with the suspension due to the recently found
doping case and will not participate in the tournament, causing her to lose
virtually all the points she has left in the WTA ranking. As for the Spanish
player, he will also not participate as he has been away from the ATP circuit
since the Rotterdam Open, where he was defeated in the first round against
Gasquet
