A Look At The Prize Money For The French Open 2024 Tennis Grand Slam

Two weeks of riveting tennis action has brought us to the climax of the French Open 2024. Like every year, the tournament saw a mix of heartbreaks, joy and, above all, some mouth-watering encounters.

As we head towards the end of the competition, here are a few important details you ought to know about the French Open 2024:

• Date of the final match: 9 June
• Venue: Paris, France

Defending champion Novak Djokovic suffered a premature exit from the quarter-finals of the French Open this year. Meanwhile, 14-time champion Rafael Nadal, often known as the ‘King of Clay Courts’, bowed out from the first round of the tournament. If this sounds like the death knell for the hallowed quartet of tennis (Roger Federer and Andy Murray being the other two members) to your ears, you aren’t the only one.

Whenever a power block topples, there are others who engage in a tussle to grab the throne. To that effect, new-age tennis players like Carlos Alcaraz, Jannik Sinner and Casper Ruud have all risen to the occasion at the French Open. Is this the dawn of a new era in the sport? Only time will tell.

However, do the players only play for the glittering silverware? Of course not. Now in its 123rd edition, the French Open has historically offered one of the highest payouts to its winners. But how much will the victors take home this year?

Well, we try answering that question by deep-diving into the prize money pot of the French Open 2024. We will also take a closer look at the schedule and venue for the summit clash, and tell you how to live stream the final match of the Grand Slam.

How much prize money is on offer at the French Open 2024 tennis tournament?

According to reports, the French Open 2024 comes with a massive prize money pot of USD 58.25 million (around THB 2.1 billion). The figure saw a 7.8 per cent bump from the previous edition (in 2023).

From this prize money pool, the champions of the men’s and women’s singles divisions will receive USD 2.6 million. For context, this is 4.35 per cent more than what Novak Djokovic and Iga Świątek were rewarded with last year in Paris.

Let us now turn our focus to the doubles categories. The winners of the men’s and women’s doubles divisions will be rewarded with USD 631,067. On the other hand, the runners-up will receive USD 315,533. In the mixed doubles category, the champions will pocket USD 130,492, while the losing finalists will take home USD 65,246.

It is important to note that, unlike the singles categories, the cash rewards for the winners of all three doubles categories remain unchanged from 2023.
