New for 2022 is the Sydney Tennis Classic and it is a combined ATP and WTA event held in the run-up to the Australian Open.
The city has a history of homegrown tennis success, having hosted the Sydney International in previous years, which saw Lleyton Hewitt winning four straight titles from 2001 to 2005. Fellow Australian Bernard Tomic won his first ATP World Tour title at the Sydney Olympic Park Tennis World in 2013 and more recently Alex De Minaur took down the title at the 2019 event.
There are 250 ATP or 500 WTA ranking points on offer alongside a healthy prize money pot that can kick start a players season financially.
For 2022 the total prize money on offer at the Sydney Tennis Classic is $521,000 for the ATP event. The men's champion will take home a cheque for $87,370 which is -4% less than the champion of the 2019 Sydney International received.
On the women's side of the event, the total prize money is $703,580 thanks to it being a WTA 500 event. The women's champion will take home $108,000 in prize money, along with a nice boost of confidence heading into the Australian Open.
You can see a full breakdown of the Sydney Tennis Classic 2022 prize money for both the ATP and WTA below, % changes and history from previous seasons dating back to 2000.
