Aryna Sabalenka and Coco Gauff will face off in the women's singles final at Roland Garros this weekend, with both players eyeing the enhanced €2.55 million prize purse for the 2025 French Open champion.
"The French Open has maintained its commitment to equality by offering identical prize money for men and women since 2007," tournament officials confirmed ahead of the finals weekend.
On the men's side, Jannik Sinner will battle Carlos Alcaraz for the same hefty paycheck in what promises to be an electrifying conclusion to the clay court Grand Slam.
This year's winners will pocket €150,000 more than last year's champions – translating to approximately $170,000 in additional earnings. Not bad for two weeks of work, right?
Runners-up won't leave empty-handed either. The second-place finishers will earn €1.275 million (about $1.45 million), providing quite the consolation prize for those who fall just short of the title.
Interestingly, doubles specialists face a significant pay gap compared to their singles counterparts. The winning teams in men's and women's doubles will share €590,000 ($671,000), while mixed doubles champions will split €122,000 ($139,000).
With the final weekend upon us, tennis fans worldwide are in for a treat as four of the sport's brightest stars compete not just for the prestigious Roland Garros trophy, but also for one of tennis's most substantial financial rewards. Who will rise to the occasion when the pressure's at its highest?
