Prize money at this year’s French Open will increase by 9.5%, with the biggest improvements focused on qualifying rounds and early-stage competitors.
Singles champions will earn €2.8 million each, while first-round main draw losers will receive €87,000, reflecting a notable rise aimed at supporting lower-ranked players.
The move comes amid ongoing calls from players for a fairer distribution of Grand Slam earnings and improved financial support across the tennis ecosystem.
