French Open 2026: Top Tennis Stars Unhappy With Prize Money Distribution
This criticism comes even after the organisers announced a 10% increase in prize money, raising the total amount for Roland Garros 2026 to 61.7 million euros ($72.1 million). However, the players argue that this increase does not represent their contribution to the sport’s rising revenues. They stated, “Roland Garros generated €395m in revenue in 2025, a 14% year-on-year increase, yet prize money rose by only 5.4%, reducing players’ share of revenue to 14.3%,” they said in a statement.
“With estimated revenues of more than €400m for this year’s tournament, prize money as a percentage of revenue will likely still be less than 15%, far short of the 22% that players have requested to bring the grand slams into line with the ATP and WTA tours. As Roland Garros looks to post record revenues, players are therefore receiving a declining share of the value they help create.
