The French Open continues to shine as one of tennis’s most prestigious Grand Slams, not only for its iconic clay courts but also for its ever-growing prize money. Roland Garros is set to reward champions with some of the richest payouts.
As players battle through grueling rallies under the Parisian sky, the stakes rise both on and off the court. The prize money structure reflects the tournament’s prestige, highlighting the evolving financial landscape of professional tennis.
While the spotlight often falls on the champions lifting the trophies, the prize distribution behind the scenes tells a story of increasing support for athletes across all rounds. This edition promises to push these numbers even higher.
What is the prize money of French Open 2025?
The 2025 edition of Roland Garros is making headlines not just for the tennis but for the record-setting prize pool: €56.352 million, a 5.21% increase from last year, according to sources like Reuters.

At the top of the ladder, both the men’s and women’s singles champions will pocket €2.55 million each—€150,000 more than in 2024—making it one of the most lucrative victories in Grand Slam history.
What is the prize money for the runner-up?
While only two players will lift trophies in the singles draw, the finalists who fall just short of victory won’t walk away empty-handed. This year’s runner-up prize stands at €1.275 million, according to the same Reuters breakdown.
The payout acknowledges the endurance, grit, and top-tier performance required to reach the final at one of the sport’s most physically demanding tournaments. At Roland Garros, silver still shines brightly—at least in the bank.
What is the prize money for doubles and mixed doubles?
Beyond the singles spotlight, the French Open has also upped the ante for doubles and mixed doubles players. In 2025, winning teams in both the men’s and women’s doubles will split €590,000, while the finalists will share €295,000.
Even first-round pairs are earning higher sums, part of a broader effort to raise the stakes across the board. Mixed doubles champions, meanwhile, will collect €122,000—a sign that the tournament is working to elevate every discipline.
