The 2023 French Open has officially concluded after Novak Djokovic and Iga Swiatek emerged victorious in the men’s and women’s finals, respectively.
With the tournament concluding, the winners and participants received a big paycheck. But how big is it? Let’s find out!
Novak Djokovic climbs atop tennis peak following 23rd singles grand slam win
The 36-year-old Serb has claimed back the throne of the men’s ranking, after taking down Norway’s Casper Ruud with a sublime performance in the French Open final on Sunday.
Djokovic was not playing particularly well at the start of the match, but he was able to win the first set via a tiebreaker and go on to win the match 7-6 (7-1) 6-3 7-5.
With this victory, Nole surpassed Rafael Nadal as the holder of the most Grand Slam titles. He now has a total of 23 Grand Slams and has also become the first man to win all four major Grand Slams at least three times.
Iga Swiatek takes 3rd women’s singles Roland Garros crown at the age of 22
Iga Swiatek continues to perform brilliantly on the clay court, as she secured her third Rolland Garros trophy in four years. She defeated the unseeded Karolina Muchova with a 6-2 5-7 6-4 victory in the women’s final on Saturday.
This victory sets Iga on the path to greatness, as she has come a long way since her debut in the French Open at just 18 years of age. She won her first French Open at 19, being the 54th seed, and now she has won her third at just 22.
