French Open organisers say they are narrowing the pay gap between leading and lower-ranked players by increasing prize money for those knocked out in the early stages at Roland Garros.
Players who are eliminated in the first week of the Grand Slam will see an average increase of over 10% in their earnings.
Players who lose in qualifying will earn an average of almost 15% more.
Those who reach at least the quarter-finals will receive on average 6% more.
In total, the clay-court tournament's prize fund - across all men's and women's tournaments - has increased by 8% from 2018, to a total of 42.
