The 2025 Bastad Open is offering some pretty solid prize money and ranking points for players willing to battle it out on Swedish clay from July 14th to 20th.
This tournament has quite a history. It’s been around since 1948, and some incredible players have lifted the trophy over the years.
The biggest name? Rafael Nadal, who won it way back when he was just 19 years old, beating Tomas Berdych in the final.
| Name | Age | Points | Stats 2024 |
|---|
But let’s be honest – this year’s entry list isn’t quite as star-studded as some previous years. The tournament’s facing tough competition from both the Gstaad Open and Los Cabos Open during the same week.
Still, there are some really exciting players committed to the Swedish clay courts.
Grigor Dimitrov headlines the field, and when he’s playing well, he’s absolutely mesmerizing to watch. Clay isn’t exactly his best surface – he’s more of a hard court specialist – but the 2017 ATP Finals winner can produce magic anywhere.
The big question mark? His fitness.
Dimitrov retired from four straight Grand Slams, including Roland Garros just a few weeks ago. That’s pretty concerning for any tennis fan.
Hubert Hurkacz and Botic van de Zandschulp are also in the mix. Van de Zandschulp had quite the year in 2024, taking down both Carlos Alcaraz and Rafael Nadal.
The Money and Points Breakdown
Win the whole thing, and you’re looking at €90,675 and 250 ranking points. That’s not bad at all for a week’s work.
Nuno Borges took home that prize last year after beating Nadal in the final. It was pretty amazing seeing Rafa back in Bastad – he rarely played ATP 250 events in his later career, but he needed match practice before the 2024 Olympics.
The Spanish legend hadn’t been back since winning the title 19 years earlier as that teenage prodigy.
Reach the final but fall short? You’ll still walk away with €52,890 and 165 points.
Some pretty notable names have been runners-up here over the years. Spanish Davis Cup captain David Ferrer, recently retired French legend Richard Gasquet, and the currently injured Casper Ruud have all experienced that bittersweet moment.
The semifinal payouts are worth €31,090 and 100 points each. That’s actually more points than you get for reaching the second round of a Grand Slam, which puts things in perspective.
Last year’s quarterfinalists included Roberto Carballes Baena, Timofey Skatov, Mariano Navone, and Thiago Monteiro. Carballes Baena must’ve been gutted – he’s a solid clay courter who probably expected to go deeper.
Make it to the quarters and you’re guaranteed €18,015 and 50 points. For lower-ranked players, that jump from the quarterfinals to semifinals can be huge for both their bank account and ranking.
Even reaching the second round pays €10,460 and 25 points. Not life-changing money, but certainly nothing to sneeze at.
Just making the main draw gets you €6,390 – though you won’t earn any ranking points unless you actually win a match.
