#1 Tennis : Roland Garros Rewards
Hello Steemians!
I wanted to talk to you about the Grand Slams rewards. Since the final of Roland Garros is tomorrow and many people are watching this tournament, I thought it would be interesting to know what are the rewards for winning this tournament. Tell me what you think about it. :)
The master of Roland Garros
Here is Nadal, he won Roland Garros 10 times and will be playing the final of 2018 tomorrow.
Amount of money
The prize pool of Roland Garros is equal to 39.2 million euros.
Distribution of the prize pool
Of course, not only the winner earns money but at each round, you double up your prize. In the following graph, you will see the whole distribution of the prize pool. This distribution is for 2017 but what you have to know is that for 2018, you just have to add 10% to each prize.
Over the Years
In the following picture, you can see the evolution of the rewards that the winner gets.
You can see that since 2006, the female and male winner get the same money. And since 2007, not only the winners, but all female and male athletes get the same money for each round.
As you can see, the french open prize money has more than doubled in 10 years, this figure is quite impressive.
And yourself, are you an amateur of tennis? (Or even a professional? who knows..)
See you soon with another article!
Sander
