Carlos Alcaraz wins the 2025 French Open after a simply sensational game of tennis against Jannik Sinner at Roland Garros.
The Roland Garros quote is: ‘Victory belongs to the most tenacious’ and you can’t help but agree that Alcaraz fit that bill throughout.
Jannik Sinner remained at the very top level, but so did Carlos Alcaraz. The Spaniard fought back valiantly in a quite extraordinary, record-breaking French Open 2025 final.
The win for the Spaniard now means he receives a lovely payout – but just how much did he make on Sunday afternoon?
French Open 2025 prize money
Alcaraz just pocketed a whopping £2.13m (€2.55m) for winning the French Open.

| First round | £65,420 (€78,000) |
Alcaraz joins the female French Open winner, Coco Gauff, in pocketing the illustrious grand prize, whilst despite Sinners’ best efforts, will have to settle for just over £1m for his runner-up medal.
The likes of Lorenzo Musetti, Novak Djokovic, Lois Boisson and Iga Swiatek will also be flying home from France with a pretty penny. They’ve all accumulated past the half-a-million mark.
The win for Alcaraz ultimately adds to his ever-growing bank balance.
