The Bad Homburg Open, a grass court tournament, has been upgraded to WTA 500 status for the year. This also means that the tournament has been included in the highest German category in professional tennis.
Accordingly, the prize money has almost tripled compared to previous events, as Radio FFH reports. While $259,303 was still available in the pool for the 2023 edition, $923,000 has been budgeted for the 2024 event. This also fulfills the requirements of the Equal Prize Money approach, the equalization of prize money for men's and women's tournaments.

- My money is simply on fatigue. She's not the compact 'muscle-man'-type like perhaps Sabalenka, Swiatek or Sakkari. She's a player desperately longing for some kind of Djokovic rhythm. She should skip lots to win more majors. And the rumour I thought wasn't it Long Covid?MrAndreeva10-05-2024
