Winning Roland Garros not only guarantees a place in tennis history, it also provides a major economic boost. In its 124th edition, the most prestigious clay court tournament has once again broken records not only in excitement, but also in prize money
Prize money and points at Roland Garros
The champion of the singles draw in 2025 will pocket 2,550,000 euros, a figure that exceeds the 2,400,000 euros of last year and reflects the constant growth of the circuit.
The Grand Slam has maintained its commitment to equal prize money: the same amount is distributed in both the men’s and women’s draws. It is a policy that was consolidated years ago and has been celebrated as a milestone in professional sport.
The total prize money amounts to 56,352,000 euros, making Roland Garros one of the most lucrative events on the calendar
Those who fell in the first round took home 78,000 euros, while reaching the second round meant an income of 117,000 euros. The third round rises to 168,000, and reaching the round of 16 earns 265,000 euros. In the quarter-finals, the figure rises to 440,000, and the semi-finalists receive 690,000 euros. The finalist, who falls just short of glory, receives 1,275,000 euros.
In addition, as in every Grand Slam, ranking points are also key. The winner takes home 2,000 ATP or WTA points, which are crucial in the battle for the world number one ranking. The runner-up gets 1,300 points, and the semi-finalists 800.
