         The absence of 14-time singles champion Rafael Nadal at this year's French Open marks the emergence of a new men's champion, ending Nadal's streak since 2005. While Novak Djokovic, Carlos Alcaraz, and Daniil Medvedev are the top contenders, Iga Swiatek aims to secure a hat-trick of French Open victories in the women's singles. However, aside from the competition, one question looms: How much will players earn in prize money at this year's French Open, and how does it vary round by round? Here's a comprehensive breakdown of all the details.
