The 2022 ATP finals will take place from November 13-20 on the hard courts of Pala Alpitour in Turin, Italy – biggest prize money at stake
The season-ending ATP finals are set to hand out the biggest-ever prize money as the highest-ranked players battle it out against each other in Italy. This is the 53rd edition of the tournament and the undefeated winner will earn a hefty amount, never offered before in the history of the sport. Top stars like Carlos Alcaraz, Rafael Nadal, Casper Ruud, Stefanos Tsitsipas and Novak Djokovic have already qualified for the tournament, and it promises to be a mouth-watering prospect for the fans.
An undefeated champion of this edition’s ATP finals will win lucrative prize money amounting to 4,813,064 euros. This figure would be more than what was pocketed by Ashleigh Barty for winning the 2019 Masters event held in the Chinese city of Shenzhen. On that occasion, the Australian earned 3.9 million euros after she lost one group-stage match. If she were to remain undefeated, she would have won 4.2 million euros.
The prize money offered at this year’s ATP finals is indeed astounding and different kinds of reactions are pouring in from fans on social media. Let us take a look at some of the reactions from fans on Twitter.
“Wow. I mean Novak already has so much money. Adding those 4.7 million to his account won’t make much of a difference for him”, joked a fan.
“Good! The players absolutely deserve it”, wrote another fan.
“I am curious to see if @WTA will still offer that 2019 record prize @WTAFinals must have some serious sponsorship not just a $540 million vennue. but in TX…that’s just small change”, read another tweet.
“That’s absurd, obnoxious and just all around icky! (But I’ll be watching anyway)”, tweeted another fan.
“That’s a lot of money! Some of the proceeds could have been reserved for ATP to invest on development programs and financially support lower ranked players”, came a suggestion from another fan.
