The amount of prize money for the 2019 French Open was announced last month. The total prize money for this year’s event reached 4266.1 million euros, equivalent to approximately 320 million in RMB.
Yes, you read that right, it is 320 million, expressed in pure numbers:
320,000,000
and the final men's and women's singles championship prize won 2.3 million euros, which is equivalent to RMB 17,000,000.
After listing these numbers, I feel that there are countless zeros before my eyes. This event, which started in 1891, has undoubtedly reached a record high in prize money.

Because they often watch tennis matches at home, parents often complain:
"Are these people running all day, aren't they tired?"
I said that they are professional athletes and there are bonuses for winning. Hundreds of thousands, tens of millions, and tens of millions are nothing to say.
My parents' eyes lit up when they heard it, and they even asked me why I didn't go to beat them, and got millions.
I smiled without talking, thinking in my heart that I am afraid that I am not even worthy of a caddy.
Closer to home, the French Open, which raised the bonus once again, can get 46,000 euros even if the player is out of the first round of the main match.
No wonder so many people squeeze their scalp to participate, because as long as they are qualified to play, it means that nearly 300,000 yuan will be handed.
So as the four annual Grand Slam, which of these shot the most generous?
Who is the most stingy?
Let's get to know it together!
Australian Open

This event, which has special emotions for Chinese fans, has always been concerned.
Li Na, three times into the Australian Open finals and won a championship and two Asian results, and once broke into the semi-finals with Zheng Jie.
Every year, many Chinese come to Melbourne to watch the game, and the annual Australian Open generally coincides with the Chinese New Year.
The hot weather matches the "hot" bonus.

French Open

Champion prize : 17,000,000 yuan
There is still a month to start the French Open, which may be the initial memory of many people for tennis.
In the summer of June 2011, a Chinese female tennis player named Li Na used his hard work and sweat to open the door to the Grand Slam championship.
It was the first Grand Slam champion in China and even Asia, and history has since been rewritten.
In addition to Li Na, Peng Shuai also partnered with Xie Shuwei to win the Grand Slam Women's Doubles Championship in 2014.

Wimbledon
The most exquisite Grand Slam

This event is rooted in the aristocratic British land, and it is also an elegant and noble event with the attributes of the All England Grass Club as a private club.Labels have long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

At the same time, Wimbledon is also the most cumbersome rules and regulations. If the clothing requirements of the athletes are understandable (white), then the requirements of the fans who come to watch the football are a bit weird.
The dress code for the audience is:
"exquisite but not overly gorgeous" dress standard, male audiences need to wear a suit or jacket, shirt, tie, trousers and leather shoes, and women’s dressing standards should refer to men’s specifications. You can wear a small dress, etc.
, but this still can't resist a steady stream of spectators coming to watch the game, this is the charm of tennis.
US Open
The most open grand slam
total prize money : 355,600,000 yuan
championship prize : 25,500,000 yuan
There is no doubt that the US Open is the most generous Grand Slam shot.
only last year’s total prize money exceeded 350 million yuan, even in the first round of the race, it will also receive 360,000 yuan in prize money, a considerable amount.
The best record of Chinese players here can be traced back to the top four of Li Na in 2013 and the top four of Peng Shuai in 2014.
, the final Grand Slam event of the year, also just ushered in its fiftieth anniversary last year. As
writes here, I have been dazzled by countless zeros, and I have also experienced the troubles that Stephens won the US Open that year.
But those zeros are their own, and these zeros have nothing to do with me.
Of course, it has nothing to do with you. (Source: House of tennis: Barbie)
