French Open final prize money: How much will the men and women earn?
The French Open finals take place this weekend.
We’ve reached the final weekend of the 2024 French Open, and there is more than just Grand Slam silverware on the line. Glory at Roland Garros already brings enough prestige without the winner’s cheque, but this year there is extra incentive for the finalists.
The prize money pot has been increased in 2024 with the financial impact of the Covid pandemic now finally a concern of the past for organisers.
Indeed, this year a total of £45.5million has been made available to competitors, an increase of almost eight per cent on last year.

And the eventual overall winners in the men’s and ladies events will reap the benefits. The financial reward will be the same irrespective of whether an individual lifts The Musketeers' Cup, traditionally presented to male winners, or the Suzanne Lenglen Cup.
As well as a trophy, a total of £2.042m will be earned by each of the champions. This figure represents a record amount for the Paris tournament, that was first staged way back in 1981.
Other winners will also be crowned on the weekend. Winners of the men’s and ladies doubles titles will earn just short of £502,000 between them, around £251,000 each.

And mixed doubles winners are well rewarded too, albeit from a significantly smaller pot. The pair that prevail will make just short of £104,000, which equates to about £52,000 each.
Runners up in both the singles finals won’t go short either. For the consolation of coming within one game of a Slam title, they will receive just over £1million for their efforts.
That’s just short of double of what was received by those who bowed out at the semi-final stage. They made £553,000 each, with the likes of 2023 champion Novak Djokovic, who had to withdraw from the last eight, making £353,000.

Fourth round losers were handed £212,752 for amassing three victories. That’s a big jump from those who went at the third hurdle, with the reward for that sitting at £134,468.
Players knocked out in round two were given £93,609 each. And even those who failed to win a single game having made the main draw in Paris had more than enough for a flight home, handed £62,124.
