Part of the train kept going, and the other stayed behind. That allowed everyone trapped inside, including my great-grandfather, to run for their lives. Luckily, he made it without being caught.

They’re presented by over 200 artists who set up every Tuesday and Friday to offer their fascinating creations to the public.

By TennisCompanion The Tel Aviv Open is an ATP 250 indoor hardcourt tournament that organizers are hosting in Israel for the first time in 26 years. Previously an ATP event ran for a brief stint from 1978 to 1981, then again from 1983 to 1996, so it’s great to see tennis back in the country. The tournament’s venue is the Tel Aviv International Convention Center, which boasts a center court with 2,500 seats and is situated just north of the beautiful Hayarkon Park. In 1983, former world No. 6 Aaron Krickstein became the youngest player ever to win an ATP event at 16 and two months old. For 2022, the Tel Aviv Open’s total prize money is just shy of a million dollars at $949,475, a sizable purse for a lower-tier event. The 28-draw singles tournament’s winner will take home a fair share of the purse at $144,415, which equates to €146,102 and £127,532, while the runner-up will claim a solid payday of $84,245 or €85,229 and £74,396 for his efforts – combined, a quarter of the prize money. On the doubles side, the champions will split $50,180, which translates to €50,795 and £44,323. The runner-up team will win roughly half that amount at $26,850 or €27,179 £23,716. I’ve provided an overview and detailed breakdown of the Tel Aviv Open’s prize money for quick reference and comparison, including currency conversion to euros and sterling pounds. 2022 Full Breakdown Like most tournaments on the ATP Tour, organizers distribute roughly 80% of prize money at the Tel Aviv Open to the sin...
