The WTA stars are set to kick off the grass-court swing with the Berlin Ladies Open, one of the two tournaments held in Germany on the road to Wimbledon. The tournament will take place from June 17 to June 23, and the prize money and points breakdown have been confirmed for this highly competitive WTA 500 event.
With only three weeks of grass-court tournaments available before the third Grand Slam of the year, the Berlin Ladies Open is the first WTA 500 event that offers top players a crucial opportunity to find their rhythm on European grass and arrive in top form at the All England Club.
The tournament boasts a prize pool of $922,573, featuring a draw of 32 players, including former champions Liudmila Samsonova and Ons Jabeur. Unfortunately, the 2023 winner Petra Kvitova will not be competing as she is out for the remainder of the season due to maternity leave.
The draw promises to be highly competitive, with a significant portion of the top 10 players contending for the title, including recent French Open champion Iga Swiatek, Coco Gauff, Aryna Sabalenka, and Elena Rybakina.
Players who are eliminated in the first round of the tournament will earn 1 ranking point and receive $8,860, while those who reach the second round will gain 60 WTA ranking points and a sum of $13,170.
If they reach the quarterfinals, the prize increases to $24,200 and 108 ranking points. Semifinalists will walk away with $51,205 and 195 points added to their WTA ranking. The runner-up will receive 325 points and $87,655 in prize money, while the tournament champion will pocket 500 points and a total of $142,000 for winning the trophy.
