Zverev and Cobolli both fought their way through to the French Open men’s singles final. In the end, Zverev clinched the coveted Coupe des Mousquetaires and will receive a big chunk of the tournament’s €61,723 million (US$71.1 million) prize money purse.
For winning the men’s singles title at the French Open, Zverev will receive €2.8 million (US$3.2 million). For making it all the way to the final, Cobolli will get €1,400,000 (US$1.6 million) in prize money.

The 2026 French Open was played just weeks after a dispute broke out between the players and the organizers of the four Grand Slams. The leading players led the protest, calling for a larger share of revenue. Sinner, Aryna Sabalenka, and Coco Gauff even raised the threat of a Grand Slam boycott in the future.
Currently, the Grand Slams allocate around 12-15% of revenue to the players, who want around 22% of the profits.
Zverev arrived in Paris looking to finally end his Grand Slam drought. Amid all the upsets at the French Open, he kept his composure and enjoyed a promising start. The second seed continued to get better as the Grand Slam went on, claiming an impressive straight-sets win over Jódar before dispatching MenÅ¡Ãk in four sets.
With his win over Cobolli in the French Open final, Zverev is finally a Grand Slam champion. The 29-year-old had to endure years of heartbreak at the final hurdle, but he finally prevailed in the face of adversity.
