The 2024 Shanghai Masters prize money has been revealed as Novak Djokovic gets set for his return to the tournament for the first time in five years.
Djokovic will take on America’s Alex Michelsen in the round of 64 on October 5 (Saturday) at the Qizhong Forest Sports City Arena.
Aged 37, Djokovic is certainly in his twilight years but he will look to continue his dominance at the ATP Tour event. In fact, a win in Shanghai will be his 100th career title success.
The 24-time Grand Slam winner has dominated in the Chinese city since the tournament was founded in 2009. Nobody has played more matches (39), won more titles (4), registered more wins (34) or produced a higher win percentage (88.90%) than Djokovic.
Keen tennis fans have already welcomed back the Serbian with open arms ahead of Saturday’s clash with Michelsen. A first win since 2019 will certainly leave the Chinese supporters happy.
Djokovic’s absence was certainly felt during the COVID-19 pandemic with the Asian swing of the tour the hardest hit. Three consecutive tournaments between 2020-2022 were cancelled entirely.
Nonetheless, the Shanghai Masters welcomes back its biggest star but how much money can Djokovic expect to bank if he goes all the way? Scroll down for the full 2024 Shanghai Masters prize money breakdown.

Novak Djokovic Can’t Wait For Shanghai Masters Return
Speaking in a press conference earlier this week, Novak Djokovic explained how excited he was to be returning to the Shanghai Masters.
“Well, as I’ve mentioned before, China has been a very successful and happy place for me. I’ve had great success on the Chinese soil, both Beijing and Shanghai.
“I haven’t been here five years. I just love playing here, love the conditions, love the support that I get, and I also have an extra motivation of trying to go for my 100th title,” he added.
To become a centurion as his illustrious career draws to a close will be Djokovic’s number one aim as 2024 comes to an end. And what a better place to complete the astonishing feat than at the 2024 Shanghai Masters.
