ROLAND GARROS has released its prize-money breakdown for the 2025 edition of the French Open and the total prize money for this year’s tournament is about $63.7 million (€56.352 million), up 5.21 per cent from last year.
There will be prize money increases in every round. The total purse at Roland-Garros is worth about $63.7 million (€56.35 million), a 5.21% increase from last year. The first-place prize for the men’s and women’s singles winners is up to $2.9 million (€2.55 million), about $170,000 more than last year.
The French Open has seen an increase in its prize money for four consecutive years following a 10% dip between 2020 and 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. This year’s purse is about 64% more than the 2021 purse ($38.9 million).
The French Open is the first Grand Slam for men’s world No. 1 Jannik Sinner since he was banned for three months for testing positive for the drug clostebol last year. The 23-year-old made his return for the Italian Open, his home tournament, earlier this month. Sinner reached the final before losing in straight sets to Spaniard Carlos Alcaraz. With the win, Alcaraz, 22, elevated to world No. 2. Meanwhile, Novak Djokovic represents the old guard. He turns 38 on Thursday and will be playing for his 25th Grand Slam title, which would give him the most in tennis history, male or female.
On the women’s side, top-ranked Aryna Sabalenka of Belarus will look for her fourth career Grand Slam title in Paris. She lost the Australian Open final this year to Madison Keys.
