The 2024 WTT Saudi Arabia Tournament has ended, and the national table tennis has won 5 championships and become the biggest winner. In this Saudi Arabian Championship, the national table tennis has experienced a process of first suppression and then promotion, and many famous players in the first or second round were knocked out in an upset, but the team still relied on its heritage to not leave any of the championships aside. According to the distribution of prize money in Grand Slam tournaments, Wang Chuqin and Chen Meng are the most earning players among male and female players.
According to the previously announced prize money and points, the singles champion will enjoy $65,000 and 2,000 points, the runner-up will receive $33,050 and 1,400 points, the semi-finals will be $20,750 and 700 points, the quarterfinals will be $17,000 and 350 points, the top 16 will be $14,000 and 175 points, the top 32 will be $11,000 and 90 points, and the top 64 will be $8,500 and 20 points.

Therefore, in conversion, Chu Qin, the king of national table tennis, earns the most, followed by Chen Meng.
The prize money for the Saudi Race is distributed as follows (for men):
Wang Chuqin: $75,025 (Men's Singles Champion + Men's Doubles Champion + Mixed Doubles Champion);
Lin Shidong: $20,750 (men's singles semifinals);
Ma Long: $16,750 (Men's Singles Top 32 + Men's Doubles Champion);
Fan Zhendong: $14,000 (Men's Singles Top 16);
Liang Jingkun: $12,850 (Men's Singles Top 32 + Men's Doubles Quarterfinals);
Lin Gaoyuan: $12,850 (Men's Singles Top 32 + Men's Doubles Quarterfinals).
From the perspective of the bonus distribution of male players, Wang Chuqin, who won 3 championships in Saudi Arabia, took the lead, receiving a total of about 540,000 yuan in high bonuses; Although Lin Shidong only participated in the men's singles competition, he ranked second because of his good results and high men's singles prize money. Fan Zhendong, Liang Jingkun and Lin Gaoyuan 3 players overturned.
The prize money for the Saudi Race is distributed as follows (for female players):
Chen Meng: $70,750 (Women's Singles Champion + Women's Doubles Champion);
Sun Yingsha: $37,300 (women's singles runner-up + mixed doubles champion);
Wang Yidi: $22,500 (Women's Singles Semifinals + Women's Doubles Quarterfinals);
Qian Tianyi: $17,000 (singles quarterfinals);
Wang Manyu: $16,750 (singles top 32 + women's doubles champion);
Chen Xingtong: $15,750 (singles round of 16 + women's doubles champion).
Among the female players, Chen Meng became the first with the double championship. However, for Chen Meng, in addition to the big prize money, there are two major gains, namely, after obtaining 2000 singles world points, he ranked second in the world by surpassing Wang Manyu; After obtaining 3,000 national table tennis Olympic selection reward points, it is basically determined to qualify for the singles of the Paris Olympic Games.
If Chen Meng is the player who has gained the most, then Wang Manyu is the most disappointed player. Before the Saudi Arabian competition, Wang Manyu's Olympic points in the team were more than 1,000 points ahead of Chen Meng, as long as he played steadily and did not lose to foreign players, he had a good chance to lock in the Olympic quota, but unfortunately he lost the only foreign battle in the Olympic points stage and was deducted 3,000 points, which plummeted in points, and basically missed the singles quota for the Paris Olympics.
