Italian Open, Rome Masters Prize Money
2023 Breakdown & Historicals
The Italian Open is one of the sport’s oldest and most prestigious clay court tournaments worldwide, which takes place annually at the beautiful Foro Italico sports complex in Rome, Italy.
As an ATP Masters 1000 and WTA Premier 1000 event, it’s one of the most important of the year, one step below the Grand Slam tournaments and featuring 96 player draws in singles and 32 teams in doubles.
Although the prize money isn’t equal for men and women at the Italian Open, organizers have pledged to take steps to award equal prize money at the tournament by 2025, a significant change that will bring the event in line with many other top-tier competitions worldwide.
For 2023, the tournament features record-setting prize money of €7,705,780 for the ATP and €3,572,618 for the WTA, for a combined total of €11,278,398. On the men’s side, that translates to $8,490,151 and £8,490,151 for a 42% increase compared to 2022. For the women’s event, the conversion is $3,936,703 and £3,116,530, for a 41% improvement.
The ATP singles champion will walk away with €1,105,265, while the WTA champ will claim roughly half that, or €521,754. The runner-up in each event will earn €580,000 and €272,200, respectively.
In doubles, the winning men’s team will split €382,420, while their opponents will share €202,850, both figures up over 50% compared to last year, which is an impressive improvement.
Despite lower prize money, the third and fourth rounds of the women’s singles event net the largest percentage gains in prize money, with a 72% improvement for the round of 32 and a 69% for the round of 16.
In the following sections, I’ll provide a detailed overview and complete breakdown of the Italian Open’s prize money and historical data for reference and quick comparison. Currency conversions from euros to US dollars and sterling pounds are available for quick reference.

2023 Full Breakdown
At the highest level, total prize money at the Italian Open distributes by roughly 80% for singles and the remaining 20% for doubles, which is standard across most ATP and WTA tournaments.
However, beyond discipline, we can break prize money further by round, with players earning higher payouts as they reach the tournament’s later stages. For example, this year’s men’s singles champion will take home more than 67 times a player who exits in the first round.
That said, the following tables break down prize money by round since 2006 for men and women. You can scroll left to right to view the entire data set. For comparison, I’ve converted US dollars to Euros 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.
On the women’s side, keep in mind that the WTA uses a predetermined exchange rate of $1.15 for every €1.00.
