Early-season indoor tennis just turned into a wallet war between Rotterdam and Dallas.
The ABN AMRO Open in Rotterdam and the Nexo Dallas Open both run from 9 to 15 February and have published their 2026 prize-money and points schedules, revealing headline payouts and exact PIF ATP Rankings points on offer to those who go deep.
Prize Money At A Glance
Rotterdam announced a total purse of €2,462,660, with the singles champion earning €460,555 and the winning doubles team splitting €151,280, numbers that keep the Dutch indoor classic squarely on a player radar for both cash and points.
Dallas comes in a touch higher in headline money, listing a total of $2,833,335. The singles winner pockets $529,945, and the doubles champions split $174,050, making the Texas stop a lucrative option for players chasing early-season paydays.
Both events award the same top PIF ATP Rankings reward, with the singles winner receiving 500 points and the finalist getting 330. That parity means the decision to play is often about money, surface preference and preparation rather than a points differential.
Looking deeper at the singles ladder shows meaningful mid-week increases: Rotterdam pays a semi-finalist €132,060 and a quarter-finalist €67,470, while Dallas offers a semi-final payment of $151,935 and quarter-final checks of $77,625, nudging Texas ahead in mid-tier rewards.
Even early-round survival brings value, with Rotterdam’s Round of 16 worth €36,015 and Round of 32 at €19,205. Dallas provides $41,435 for the Round of 16 and $22,096 at Round of 32, which can make first-match wins surprisingly lucrative.

Doubles Payouts And Points
Doubles continues to reward partnerships handsomely. Rotterdam’s winning team splits €151,280, while Dallas pays a slightly larger sum of $174,050 to its champions, and both teams earn 500 PIF ATP points for the title.
Runner-up doubles pairs in Rotterdam take home €80,680 and semi-finalists €40,820. Dallas boosts those checks to $92,820 for finalists and $46,960 for semi-finalists, again showing a modest edge on the U.S. stop.
Why This Matters For Players
Prize schedules like these influence who shows up. Players weighing a week in Rotterdam versus a trip to Dallas will consider surface, hotel time, and the fact that a single trophy can deliver 500 ranking points plus a six-figure payday, especially at the singles level.
For lower-ranked players the early rounds are survival money, while for seeded names the difference between the two events might be the difference between a five-figure and a six-figure week. That arithmetic shapes entry lists and last-minute travel decisions for the indoor swing.
Historically, tournaments that boost early-season purses attract stronger fields, and both Rotterdam and Dallas are clearly aiming to be must-play stops. The winner’s prize in Dallas is slightly larger on paper, but Rotterdam remains one of the continent’s premier indoor events for status and atmosphere.
Expect players and their teams to pore over the published tables, because those numbers determine not only paydays but also the practicalities of scheduling and ranking strategy across the first months of the season.
