Amir Weintraub said it in an interview a few days ago.

Nishikori currently has 1,195 points which would mean $2,390,000. That surely can't be true?

What? For every point? Like if Nishi plays a 250 SF, they give him $180,000?

How about when he fails to defend ranking points from a certain tournament? Do they charge him for that?

Why would they?

he gives the federation back 2,500$ for every ranking point he drops.

They can afford it:cool:

If so, they mist spend a lot of money for worse players

It would cost them about 10 million dollars this year. It is possible for such a big country.
Maybe it's their way to give incentive for young players to play tennis professionally.

that's why soeda, ito keep nailing these weak asian challengers instead of playing atp tournaments

lu is probably getting $3000 for every point

Re: Is It true that the Japanese Federation gives 2000$ per ranking point?
 

Are you sure it's dollar, not yen, so about $20 rather?
I don't believe they give $2000, but on TC, Ashley Fisher did say Japanese players are well supported financially.

Re: Is It true that the Japanese Federation gives 2000$ per ranking point?
 

if it's true it means they've paid out 7.4 million so far this year

seems unlikely tbh

Japan is a very rich country, I don't see why not :shrug:
