2024 Shanghai Masters ATP Prize Money Points Overview

The prize money and points for the 2024 Shanghai Masters, set from October 2nd to 13th, have been announced.

This tournament is the second-to-last ATP Masters 1000 event of the year. It started in 2009 when Nikolay Davydenko surprised everyone by defeating Rafael Nadal with scores of 7-6, 6-3. Tennis greats like Roger Federer, Novak Djokovic, and Andy Murray have won this event multiple times. Djokovic holds the record with four titles.

After a break due to COVID-19 from 2020 to 2022, last year’s event saw Hubert Hurkacz win against Andrey Rublev in the final.

Big Names and Big Prizes:

This year’s player lineup is impressive. Jannik Sinner, Carlos Alcaraz, Daniil Medvedev, and Djokovic are among those competing in Shanghai. The players will compete for a massive $8,995,555 prize pool. The winner will take home $1,100,000 along with 1000 ranking points.

Fans might think this is one of the most exciting tournaments of the year!

The runner-up won’t leave empty-handed either; they’ll get $585,000 and 650 points. Even those making it to semifinals or quarterfinals stand to gain significantly—$325,000 and $185,000 respectively.

Players outside the Top 10 also have a chance to shine here. Ben Shelton , Lorenzo Musetti , and Felix Auger-Aliassime could boost their rankings by reaching later stages.

Semifinalists earn $325,000 plus 400 points—enough for some to enter Top 10 rankings! Quarterfinalists get $185,000 and 200 points each.

Even losing in the fourth round isn’t too bad; players still receive $101,000 and gain valuable ranking points (100). Making it past early rounds also pays off well: third-round exits earn $59,100 while second-rounders take home $34,500.

First-round losers aren’t left out either—they get $23,350 along with ten ranking points which isn’t common in ATP events below Masters-1000 level.

What do you think about these rewards? Are they fair?
