Prague Open 2021 Prize Money
The Prague Open, currently known as the Livesport Prague Open for sponsorship reasons, is a WTA 250 tournament held after Wimbledon.
The event traditionally takes place on the clay courts of the TK Sparta Praha tennis club, but the 2021 edition will be an outdoor hard court tournament.
With good money on offer and points at stake, it's no surprise the tournament has attracted several top-20 players, including homegrown talent such as Petra Kvitova and Barbora Krejcikova.
The total prize money on offer in Prague is $235,238, a 4.32% rise compared to last year.
The winner in Prague will take home $29,200, which is up 16.80% compared with what Simon Halep received last year when she won the title. The runner up also lands a 17.13% pay rise vs 2020 and will receive a cheque for $16,398.
Final round losers in qualifying see a huge jump, but this is because last year's draw had three qualifying rounds; this year, it's a 24 player draw.
