Prize Money for the 2021 French Open

The coronavirus epidemic also wreaked havoc on Roland Garros 2021.

The Grand Slam’s prize money was reduced for the second consecutive year.

In 2020, the total prize money will be €38,000,000.

In 2021, that sum will be reduced by 10% to €34,367,215.

The prize money for the winners and runners-up had fallen, but the first-round prize money had remained unchanged.

The winner in 2020 received €1.6 million, while the winner in 2021 received €1.4 million.

French Open 2021 Attendance

The year 2021 drew a large number of fans back into the stadiums.

The French Open 2021 was postponed, thus the new COVID-19 rules provided the organizers some leeway.

The first round of the event allowed 5388 spectators.

The number of spectators was later increased in the Grand Slam’s final stages.
