2002 Australian Open champion Thomas Johansson and former World No. 1s Marat Safin and Andy Murray are the only players to have won the singles titles more than once. Five Russian players have won the singles title: Yevgeny Kafelnikov in 1995, Marat Safin in 2000 and 2001, Mikhail Youzhny in 2004, Daniil Medvedev in 2019, and Andrey Rublev in 2020. The event was not held in 2014 but resumed in 2015, at the Sibur Arena. The event was exceptionally held as an ATP 500 tournament in the 2020 edition.[citation needed]
In reaction to the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, the ATP moved the 2022 St. Petersburg Open from Saint Petersburg to Kazakhstan.[1]
The prize pool for this tournament consists of $1,000,000 USD. It is an ATP 500 level tournament, thus the men's singles champion receives 500 ATP ranking points.[citation needed]
