French Open 2026 Prize Money Controversy

Despite the increase in the prize pool, there has been a raging controversy among the players at the French Open 2026 regarding their share of the prize money. The players’ share of revenue in this event is reportedly 14.3%, far lower than the 22% at other ATP and WTA events.

Gauff and Sabalenka are among the leading stars who have threatened to boycott the Grand Slams if their share of the revenue is not increased. Several top-ranked players, including Sabalenka and Sinner, released a statement criticising the French Open prize money.

Despite this, tournament director Amelie Mauresmo said that the organisers will not be increasing the prize money anymore, but will start discussions with the discontented players.
