The
Canadian Open (National Bank Open) will offer nearly 10 million dollars in prizes to both
ATP and
WTA competitors.
After the
conclusion of Wimbledon, tennis players return to the hard courts following
some weeks on grass and previously on clay. Just over a month before the 2023
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, the women competed in Toronto, and Romanian Simona
Halep clinched the title by defeating Brazilian
Beatriz Haddad Maia in the
final.
On the
men's side, Pablo Carreño Busta staged a remarkable comeback in the final to
defeat
Hubert Hurkacz. Despite not being seeded, Carreño Busta defeated players
like Matteo Berrettini, Holger Rune, Jannik Sinner, Jack Draper, and Dan Evans
on his way to the final against the Polish player.
The prize
money for the tournament is nearly 10 million dollars, with $1,019,335 for the
male champion and $454,500 for the female champion. The finalists will earn
$556,630 and $267,690, respectively. In the semifinals, male players will
receive $304,375, and female players will receive $138,000, while in the
quarterfinals, the amounts will be $166,020 and $63,350, respectively.
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.
