2023 Breakdown & Historicals
The Qatar Open is an ATP 250 tennis tournament held annually at the Khalifa International Tennis & Squash Complex in Doha, Qatar, which features 24 courts and a stadium with a 7,000-seat capacity.
It’s one of only two ATP events held in the middle east, the other being the Dubai Championships, which first started in 1993. As of 2023, Roger Federer has the record for the most titles here, with three.
For 2023, the tournament is offering total prize money of $1,377,025, the largest in its history, which equates to €1,305,433 and £1,152,638 for a 29% bump compared to last year.
The Qatar Open’s winner will walk away with a check for $209,445, which translates to €198,555 and £175,318, while the runner-up will pocket $122,175, or €115,823 and £102,267, respectively.
In doubles, the team crowned as champions will split $72,780, which equates to €68,992 and £60,913, while their competitors will pocket roughly half that at $38,940, or €36,913 and £32,591.

2023 Full Breakdown
Prize money at the Qatar Open skews heavily toward the singles event as it does for all ATP tournaments, which captures roughly 80% of funds, while the remaining 20% organizers set aside for doubles.
However, if we look closer at each round within the singles and doubles events, players’ earnings substantially increase as they progress through the tournament. For context, the singles winner earns 14 times more than a player who exits in the first round.
In the following table, I’ve summarized the Qatar Open’s 2023 prize money by round for both events. I’ve also converted it to euros and sterling pounds, which I calculate using the current exchange rate.
