Lyon Open Prize Money
2023 Breakdown & Historicals
The Lyon Open, otherwise known as the Open Parc Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes Lyon, is an ATP 250 series clay court tournament held annually right before the French Open, the year’s second major in Paris.
In 2017, the tournament replaced the long-standing Open de Nice Côte d’Azur, which dates back to 1895, due to the inability of the prior event to expand at the Nice Lawn Tennis Club.
For 2023, the tournament’s total prize money is €534,555, the largest purse in its short history, equating to $577,997 and £464,779. These amounts represent a sizeable 27.4% increase over the prior year as the event recoups from a down year in 2021 due to the pandemic.
This year’s singles champion will earn €85,605, while the runner-up will pocket €49,940, both 5.3% increases over 2022.
Doubles pairs saw similar improvements in prize money, with the winners taking home €29,740 and the runner-up €15,910, again representing 5.3% increases compared to the prior year.

Prize Money by Year
Every year, prize money changes at the Lyon Open. Although many fans expect it to go up yearly, it drops periodically. For example, in 2021, prize money dropped 20% due to the pandemic and limited crowd capacity, allowing fans to keep a safe distance from each other.
Ticket sales, sponsorships, merchandise, and concessions represent most of the tournament’s revenue. In a year like 2021, when ticket sales dropped and organizers canceled the event the prior year, it’s unsurprising that prize money declined accordingly.
The following table outlines the yearly prize money offered at the Lyon Open since its first year of operation in 2017. The prize money has increased by 11% during that period.
| Year | Total Prize Money | % Change |
| 2022 | €534,555 | 27% |
| 2021 | €419,470 | -20% |
