Prize Money 2024 Canadian Open ATP ($10,000,000) and WTA ($2,700,000) as Sinner and Pegula defend titles

The Canadian Open (National Bank Open) will return between 6-12 August with the prize money breakdown confirmed for ATP and WTA players.

After the conclusion of the Olympic Games, tennis players return to the hard courts following some weeks on grass and clay. Just over a month before the 2024 US Open, the next tournament that will bring together the world's best tennis players is the Canadian Open.

In Canada, the cities of Toronto and Montreal alternate to host the men's and women's draws each year. Last year, Jessica Pegula won in Toronto while Jannik Sinner won in Montreal.

The prize money for the tournament is nearly 10 million dollars, with $1,049,335 for the male champion. The finalist receives $573,090. Semi-Finals gleams $313,395. While it goes all the way down to Round One with $27,165 on offer. But the WTA amounts are yet to be confirmed and will be when the draw is set.

The Masters 1000 distributes points differently, as the female champion receives 900 points, whereas the male champion gets 1000 points. Runners-up receive 600 points for men and 585 points for women, while semifinalists receive 360 and 350 points, respectively.

The points distribution in the early rounds also differs, with male players earning 10 points for reaching the first round, then potentially obtaining 45 points if they reach the second round, 90 points for advancing to the third round, and 180 points for semifinalists.

Women still receive fewer points in the first round, as they are awarded 1 point for exiting in the opening match. However, they are compensated in the subsequent rounds.

The exit in the second round of the WTA grants 60 points, the third round 105 points, and quarterfinalists receive 190 points, highlighting the difference with the ATP, which awards a lower number of points in these stages.
