In 2021, the San Diego Open debuted as one of the ATP tour’s newest events hosted at the Barnes Tennis Center.

2022 Full Breakdown
With a 28-player draw, the tournament’s focal point is singles, so organizers distribute roughly 80% of the prize money to this discipline. The 16-team doubles event receives the remaining 20%, a typical split across ATP tournaments.
However, we can break prize money down further by round to get a sense of what players earn at various stages of the tournament, which increases the further a player progresses. The following table summarizes this data for the past two years.
I’ve also converted prize money to euros and Sterling Pound, which I calculate using the prior year’s exchange rate on the day of the final for a close approximation of value.
