Players eliminated during qualifying still receive financial compensation.

Does the European Open Prize Money Include Taxes?
The amounts listed above are gross prize money figures, not necessarily the amounts players will take home.
Professional tennis players may be subject to taxation depending on applicable Belgian tax rules, international tax treaties, and their individual residency circumstances.
Players may also incur expenses for coaching, travel, accommodation, physical training, and other professional services.
As a result, their actual net earnings can be lower than the published prize money amounts.
It is also important to note that prize money is not cumulative across rounds.
For example, the singles champion receives €110,055 for winning the tournament, rather than that amount plus the prize money associated with every earlier round.
