The final showdown is here! Carlos Alcaraz and Taylor Fritz are battling for the Tokyo crown, and the tension on court couldn’t be higher. After Fritz ended Alcaraz’s 13-match winning streak at the Laver Cup and helped Team World lift the trophy, the World No. 1 is hungry for payback. On one hand, Fritz is chasing his second Japan title, while Alcaraz is on a remarkable run in his Tokyo debut. Both have pushed themselves to the limit at this tournament, but there’s more on the line than glory alone: the winner is about to claim a prize money like no other.

The Kinoshita Group Japan Open Tennis Championships returned with a serious upgrade in rewards. The tournament revealed a prize money total of US $2,226,470, marking a 22.5% hike from last year. With a 32-player singles draw and 16 doubles pairs chasing the crown, the stakes this season felt higher than ever.

For the singles field, every round came with a mix of cash and crucial ranking points. The champion walked away with $416,365 plus 500 points, while the runner-up still scored big with $224,035 and 330 points. Deep runs mattered just as much: semifinalists grabbed $119,395 and 200 points, and quarterfinal finishes meant $61,000 alongside 100 points.

Even the earlier stages carried weight. Players reaching the round of 16 earned $32,560, and those who bowed out in the round of 32 still pocketed $17,365, though without any points. Now, it’s up to Taylor Fritz and Carlos Alcaraz to try and claim the jackpot in Tokyo—though they may not walk away with the full prize.
