In order to allow their players to earn more money, or earn enough money to support themselves and their teams, the ATP has really taken great pains in recent years to improve the income of their families. From 2025 onwards, the ATP will have to significantly improve the welfare of its players.

When it comes to ATP to increase the income of players, we have to mention the "One Vision" launched in 2023 and the "Bottom Line" plan launched in 2024, the former has the dividend attributes, the biggest change is that this benefit has been affected from the top 12 players in the year-end ranking in 2022 to the top 150 in the future, and the amount of dividends has also risen from the initial $11.5 million to $33.5 million; The latter is a typical player protection scheme, which provides $200,000 to players ranked in the world's top 125 for the first time, and these measures have skyrocketed the reputation of the ATP.

Especially for the dividend system advocated by the ATP, it is known as a great motivation for players, as long as they are not lazy, they may get a piece of the pie at the end of the year.

For example, the best performer in the 500 in 2023 will share $1.3 million, while Medvedev will take away $600,000 alone because of his outstanding performance, which is the envy of many people. Of course, it was Medvedev's hard work that allowed him to get this surprise at the end of the year.

After Medvedev became the king of the 500 dividends in 2023, many people are eager to know who will be the luckiest person in 2024.

In 2024, this good fortune fell to the 20-year-old young man in France, who became the best player in the 500!

In the 2024 500 prize money, Fez not only took over the baton from Medvedev with his outstanding performance at Basel 500, but also became the first prize winner of the ATP to set up a "500 bonus". According to the new ATP rules this year, this means that Faith alone can take $615,000, more than last year's Medvedev.

In order to motivate more players to play in the 500 tournament and increase the spectacle of the tournament at this level, starting in 2025, the ATP will introduce new rules, increasing the prize pool of the 500 tournament from $1.3 million to $3 million, and the top prize prize will reach $1 million.

Although the huge increase in the number of prize money does seem very exciting, in order to get the latest bonus amount after the reform, you must meet the relevant conditions attached to the ATP.

In 2024, the top 30 players will have a chance to participate in the 500 prize money if they play four 500 events, but from 2025 onwards, they will have to play five events at this level.

There will be a total of 16 500 tournaments in 2025, which does not mean that players can play five of these 16 tournaments, and the ATP also has detailed regulations for this, that is, the following three conditions must be met.

Rotterdam, Rio, Doha, Dallas, Dubai, Acapulco, Barcelona and Munich are the eight 500 tournaments, and players must choose at least two of them to participate, which is the first condition.

The second condition is that at least one of the four 500 races in Hamburg, London, Halle and Washington must be participated.

The third condition is that at least one of the four 500 races in Beijing, Tokyo, Vienna and Basel must be selected.

These three requirements of the ATP are also considered to fully take into account the interests of each event. Especially in the 500 tournament held after the US Open, when the players are more tired, if there is no requirement, you can rest easy when you play the full 500 matches before, then these 500 matches at the end of the year will become chicken ribs, affecting the attention and influence of the event. Now, for players who want to participate in the 500 tournament prize money, only by formulating these three conditions can they better cooperate with the ATP 500 tournament.

Of course, this requirement is not mandatory, and the top 30 players must comply with these three conditions to play five 500 tournaments, you can skip five tournaments, but you will be deducted 25% of the year-end bonus for each less tournament you play. However, if a player's ranking does not meet the requirements to participate in the 500 tournament, they are not considered absent.

After the ATP announced the prize money and participation requirements for 500 tournaments in 2025, many people praised the ATP for considering the problem very comprehensively, with rewards and punishments, and respecting the personal choice of players, this new rule is indeed very humane.

Therefore, this new rule is also called by many fans and netizens, which is another realistic version of "hard work can get rich".(Source: Tennis House Author: Starry Sky of Moon River)
