Point distribution and prize money
Point distribution
As a Grand Slam tournament, the points for the French Open are the highest of all ATP and WTA tournaments.[5] These points determine the world ATP and WTA rankings for men's and women's competition, respectively. In both singles and doubles, women received slightly higher point totals compared to their male counterparts at each round of the tournament, except for the first and last.[5][6] Points and rankings for the wheelchair events fall under the jurisdiction of the ITF Wheelchair Tennis Tour, which also places Grand Slams as the highest classification.[7]
Below is a series of tables for each of the competitions showing the ranking points on offer for each event:[8][9]
