European Open, Antwerp Prize Money
2024 Breakdown & Historicals
In its eighth edition, the European Open is the only professional ATP tennis tournament held in Belgium. It takes place at the multipurpose Lotto Arena in Antwerp, which has a seating capacity of 8,000.
The event is a smaller indoor hard court tournament with a 28-player singles draw and 16-team doubles draw, which is standard for this tier. It’s one of three ATP 250 events scheduled on the tour’s calendar this week, including the Stockholm and Japan Open.
For 2024, the total prize money at the European Open is €690,135, equating to $762,409 and £587,719. It’s the largest purse ever for the tournament and a 2% bump over 2023.
The winner in singles will take home a check for €95,024, while the runner-up will earn 42% less or €55,425. These are 4% decreases compared to last year, which is a relatively average increase commensurate with the total overall.
In doubles, the championship pair will split €33,010, and their opponents will earn slightly more than half, divvying up €17,659. Unlike singles, these figures saw moderate 5% growth rates vs. 2023.
The remainder of this guide provides a detailed overview and complete breakdown of the European Open’s prize money and historical data for reference and quick comparison. I’ve also included currency conversions from euros to dollars and British sterling pounds.
2024 Full Breakdown
At the highest level, the European Open’s prize money splits between singles and doubles, with 80% of the purse distributed to the former and 20% to the latter – a typical split for ATP tournaments.
However, by digging into each event, we can further break down prize money by round as players earn more the further they progress in a tournament. For example, the singles champion will make 14 times more money than a player who loses in the first round.
The following table provides a detailed breakdown of prize money by round per year. I’ve also converted prize money to dollars and sterling pounds, which I calculate using the prior year’s exchange rate on the day of the final for a close approximation of value.

Prize Money by Year
Every year, prize money at the European Open changes. Sometimes, it increases, while other years, it decreases, and the tournament’s success and revenue heavily influence that trend.
Since the tournament’s start in 2016, it has seen an increase in prize money every year except for 2020. Like many tournaments that year, the global pandemic forced the event to run without fans, resulting in significantly less revenue and, subsequently, prize money.
The following table outlines yearly prize money for the Europen Open since 2016. Since the first year, the tournament has slowly but steadily increased its prize money by 19% or roughly €107,105.
| Year | Total Prize Money | % Change |
| 2024 | €690,135 | 2% |
| 2023 | €673,630 | 4% |
| 2022 | €648,130 | 27% |
| 2021 | €508,600 | 29% |
| 2020 | €394,800 | -38% |
| 2019 | €635,750 | 4% |
| 2018 | €612,755 | 4% |
| 2017 | €589,185 | 4% |
| 2016 | €566,525 | – |
