There was intense debate over prize money at the French Open, as the world’s leading players led demands for the organizers of the four Grand Slams to give players a bigger share of the revenue. They also raised the threat of boycotting Grand Slams in the future if there is no change to the revenue-sharing model.
Players want around 22% of the profits, while Grand Slams currently offer 12-15% of revenue.
Andreeva arrived in Paris after an impressive start to the clay-court swing, and she displayed her dominance with an exemplary run at the French Open. The 19-year-old hardly put a foot wrong at the Stade Roland-Garros and lived up to her billing as one of the most talented young players in women’s tennis.
With her win over Chwalińska in the French Open final, Andreeva becomes the youngest French Open champion since Monica Seles in 1992.
