2025 China Open: Prize Money Breakdown for Men’s Singles and Doubles
The 2025 China Open, one of Asia’s most prestigious tennis tournaments, is set to take place from September 14 to October 5 at the National Tennis Center in Beijing. This year’s edition marks the 24th for men and the 26th for women, and it promises to be historic as the first comprehensive tennis event in Asia to stretch across three weeks. The tournament will not only host the ATP 500 and WTA 1000 competitions but also include a junior ITF J300 event, making it a festival of tennis for fans and players alike.
For the men’s tournament, which belongs to the ATP 500 category, a total prize purse of $4,016,050 has been allocated. This ensures that every stage of the event—from qualifying rounds to the championship match—provides valuable rewards for participants in both singles and doubles.
Men’s Singles Prize Money
In men’s singles, the stakes are high, with the winner set to claim $751,075 along with 500 ATP ranking points. The finalist will take home $404,105 and 330 points, a significant boost for those aiming to secure a place at the ATP Finals later this year.
Semifinalists will earn $215,360 and 200 points, while quarterfinalists are guaranteed $110,030 and 100 points. Players who reach the Round of 16 will receive $68,735 and 50 points, and those who fall in the opening round (Round of 32) will still collect $31,320, though without ranking points.
The qualifying rounds also come with their own rewards. A player who successfully qualifies for the main draw earns 25 ATP points, while those eliminated in the third round of qualifying secure 13 points and $16,055 in prize money. Competitors bowing out in the second round of qualifying earn $9,005, while first-round exits in qualifying do not carry financial or ranking rewards.
Men’s Doubles Prize Money
The doubles competition, always a fan favorite in Beijing, also offers generous rewards. The winning team will share $246,690 and receive 500 ranking points. The runners-up will divide $131,560 between them, along with 300 points.
Teams that reach the semifinals will take home $66,560 and 180 points, while quarterfinalists earn $33,290 and 90 points. Pairs competing in the Round of 16 collect $17,230, though without ranking points. In qualifying, teams can still accumulate points: 45 points are awarded to successful qualifiers, while teams exiting in earlier rounds of qualifying can secure between 25 and 0 points, though prize money is not allocated at this stage.
A Tournament of Global Significance
The 2025 China Open is staged at the National Tennis Center, a world-class facility originally constructed for the 2008 Beijing Olympics. Its centerpiece, the Diamond Court, seats 15,000 spectators and features a retractable roof. Ahead of this year’s event, the venue has undergone significant upgrades, including improved access pathways, a modernized sound system, and the addition of five new international-standard courts. A new “Signature Zone” will also allow fans to get closer to their favorite players for an interactive experience.
This year’s expanded three-week format underscores the China Open’s growing role in the global tennis calendar. The event will open with the junior ITF J300 tournament (September 14–21), followed by the professional draws: the WTA 1000 tournament (September 22–October 5) and the ATP 500 event (September 25–October 1).
With top stars from both tours expected to compete, the 2025 China Open is not just about prize money but also about prestige, ranking points, and momentum as players gear up for the final stretch of the season. For men’s singles and doubles players, the lucrative rewards on offer in Beijing reflect the tournament’s standing as one of the premier events outside the Grand Slams and Masters 1000s.
