Below is a breakdown of the prize money earned by top stars at the French Open 2025

Winner: Coco Gauff

Prize Money: €2,550,000 (approximately $2,901,024)

Gauff’s victory earned her the top prize, a 6.25% increase from the 2024 champion’s payout, along with 2,000 WTA ranking points. Her stellar clay-court season, including finals in Madrid and Rome, boosted her to No. 2 in the WTA Finals race.

Runner-Up: Aryna Sabalenka

Prize Money: €1,275,000 (approximately $1,450,512)

Sabalenka, despite a valiant effort and a first-set tiebreak win, took home half the champion’s prize. Her run, including a semifinal upset over Iga Swiatek, solidified her World No. 1 ranking and added 1,300 points.

The French Open maintains equal prize money for men’s and women’s singles, with both champions receiving €2,550,000.

Coco Gauff’s win on Saturday marked her as the youngest American to claim the French Open since Serena Williams in 2002, while Sabalenka’s 70 unforced errors cost her a maiden clay-court Slam.

Sabalenka appeared to be in the driving seat after taking a 4-1 lead in the opening set. "This will hurt so much, especially after such a tough two seeks playing great tennis in terrible conditions," the Belarusian said after the final.

"Thank you my team for the support, I'm sorry for this terrible final. As always I will come back stronger," she further added.

"To Coco: you deserve it, you're a hard worker, a fighter."
