The French Open will have a new men’s champion this year, with 14-time singles winner Rafael Nadal absent from Roland Garros for the first time since 2005.
Nadal became the oldest French Open champion in history by winning on Paris clay last June, but has been sidelined this year with a hip injury.
Novak Djokovic, Carlos Alcaraz and Daniil Medvedev will be top contenders to take Nadal’s title – while in women’s singles Inga Swiatek aims to complete a French Open hat-trick as she begins the defense of her crown.
Swiatek has been handed a tougher draw, however, with Aryna Sabalenka and Elena Rybakina also among the favorites in Paris. But how much is this year’s French Open prize money? And how does it change from cycle to cycle? Here’s everything you need to know.
