It is probably the only one, but there is a positive side to the crisis in the tennis world, that it allows a form of solidarity from below, for those who need it most. That is to say, the most modest who live more scantily from their discipline. Under the Covid, the prize money has fallen everywhere, but generally more for the winners, than the defeats of the first rounds.
A further reduced prize money as a result of the crisis
This is precisely the case, at the Roland-Garros 2021 tournament. Or the envelope of bonuses distributed by the organization, over the fifteen days of the event, fell by a total of 34,367,215 €. Main consequence of the matches with reduced gauges, with 1000 participants on the main courts, the first week and 5000, following.
-12.5% for the simple winners of the Paris tournament
“Through the Prize Money for the 2021 tournament, Roland-Garros continues its solidarity with the players who continue to live through a difficult period”, says Guy Forget, the tournament boss. This 2021 edition of Roland-Garros will see the female and male winners win 12.5% less than a year earlier. And almost 40% less than in 2019, before the pandemic hit the planet.
Roland-Garros 2021 starts this Sunday, May 30
The Porte d’Auteuil tournament begins this Sunday, May 30, its final draw, to end on Sunday, June 13. The ogre Rafael Nadal, 13 times winner here, and the young Polish, Iga Swiatek, are the title holders of the category of singles.
