WTT Champions Frankfurt 2025 prize money

A $500,000 week in Süwag Energie Arena, 2025-11-04 to 2025-11-09. The champion takes $40,000, 8% of the pot on one cheque.

The tour publishes what each place is worth and what the week is worth in total. It has never published who collected any of it. The ladder as published is below, then the draw read round by round so every rung on it has the names that stood on it.

The prize ladder

What each place is worth, as published

6 rungs

Place Draws it applies to Ranking points Prize
Champion the cheque every draw is played for Singles 1,000 $40,000
Finalist Singles 700 $20,000
Semifinals Singles 350 $11,750
Quarterfinals Singles 175 $8,500
Round of 16 Singles 90 $6,000
Round of 32 Singles 15 $4,500

A place on this ladder is the deepest round a player reached, not the deepest one they won. Losing a quarter-final is a quarter-finalist's cheque, which is why the money stops dead at the round a player went out in and does not accumulate on the way up.

How steeply the ladder falls

Each rung against the one above it

Top rung 9x the bottom

Champion $40k
Finalist $20k
Semifinals $12k
Quarterfinals $8,500
Round of 16 $6,000
Round of 32 $4,500

The table is a lookup and the chart is the argument. Table tennis pays its champion several times what the beaten finalist takes, and the drop from there to the quarter-finals is steeper again: the money is concentrated at the end of a week rather than spread across it.

Where the money actually went

Each rung times the number of players who stood on it

6 rungs paid

Round of 32 (32) $144k
Round of 16 (16) $96k
Champion (2) $80k
Quarterfinals (8) $68k
Semifinals (4) $47k
Finalist (2) $40k

This is the fact the ladder cannot state. A first-round cheque is the smallest figure on the table, and there are more players collecting one than every other rung put together, so the bottom of the draw is often worth more in total than the semi-finals are.

Who collected it

Every rung of every draw, with the players on it

2 draws

The draw read round by round against the ladder above. A doubles rung pays a pair, so the figure beside a doubles row is the rung itself and the two names share it.
