On the evening of May 11, Beijing time, the WTT Saudi Arabia Grand Slam ended perfectly, and the national table tennis once again won all five championships.

The total prize money of the WTT Saudi Arabia Grand Slam is as high as $2 million, which is an increase of 500,000 from the Singapore Grand Slam's 1.5 million, which is very impressive. The prize money for the singles champion was increased from $60,000 to $65,000, and the runner-up was raised from $32,050 to $33,050. However, the doubles prize remains the same, with the winner still at $8,500 and the runner-up at $5,500. It can be seen that the World Table Tennis Federation (WTT) is paying more and more attention to singles, only the men's singles and women's singles finals will be held on the last day of the competition, and the prize money for the round of 64 in singles is as much as that of the doubles champion.

There are 6 men and 6 women in the national table tennis competition, so how much money did these 12 people earn?

1. Wang Chuqin: Men's singles champion 65000 + men's doubles champion 8500/2 + mixed doubles champion 8500/2 = 73500

2. Chen Meng: Women's singles champion 65000 + women's doubles champion 8500/2=69250

3. Sun Yingsha: Women's singles runner-up 33050 + mixed doubles champion 8500/2 = 37300

4. Wang Yidi: Women's singles semifinals 20750 + women's doubles quarterfinals 3500/2=22500

5. Lin Shidong: Men's singles semifinals 20750

6. Qian Tianyi: Women's singles quarterfinals 17,000

7. Chen Xingtong: Women's singles top 16 14000 + women's doubles quarterfinals 3500/2 = 15750

8. Ma Long: Men's doubles champion 8500/2 + men's singles top 32 11000 = 15250

The total prize money of national table tennis players is as high as 326,050 US dollars, accounting for more than 16% of the total prize money.

Among the players in the foreign association, the highest individual prize money is, of course, Francesca's $33,050, the runner-up in the men's singles.

The highest prize money for the foreign association team is the Japanese team, with a total prize of 169,650 US dollars, which is about half of the national table tennis.

The host Saudi Arabia team, for well-known reasons, only male players participated, and the three men's singles players all played 0-3 in a round; Two men's doubles pairs competed, and because it was a "civil war", one of them stopped in the first round and the other advanced to the round of 16. Men's player Al Hadrawi teamed up with Egyptian teenager Hannah Gouda to reach the round of 16 of mixed doubles. So the prize money earned back by the Saudi players is: 8500×3 + 1000 + 2000 + 2000 / 2 = 29500 US dollars. Saudi Arabia pays for the competition, purely for advertising, not to ask the players to earn some back! Looking at so many Chinese faces at the game site, Saudi Arabia is not at a loss. What's more, $2 million is just a matter of selling a few more barrels of oil for them.

WTT Grand Slam events, in addition to the Singapore and Saudi Arabia stations that have ended, there is also the Beijing station in China, and more and more countries are applying to host the event, and the prize money is getting higher and higher, which also shows that table tennis is becoming more and more popular as an athlete, and its commercial value is getting higher and higher. This will also attract more young people to participate in this sport, and the competition in the future will become more and more fierce, and the status of the hegemony of the national table tennis table tennis may be more impacted.
