Do injured players get paid?
When a player retires from a match due to injury, they typically receive prize money for the round they reached, but not for the final if they don't complete it. However, specific tournament rules and insurance policies can vary. Alex de Minaur's retirement means he missed out on the winner's share, but still earned prize money for reaching the final.
