Open Sud de France, Montpellier Prize Money
2024 Breakdown & Historicals
Hosted annually at the Sud de France Arena in the Montpellier suburb of Pérols in the South of France, the Open Sud de France is an ATP 250 series tennis tournament contested on hard courts.
The tournament started in 1987 and ran for 23 years under the name of the Grand Prix de Tennis de Lyon before moving to Montpellier in 2010, where it continues to host 28 players in singles and 16 teams in doubles.
French tennis players have had a dominant run at the tournament since the move to Montpellier, winning eight of the first ten editions, including three wins by Richard Gasquet and Gaël Monfils.
For 2024, prize money at the Open Sud de France continues to recover after the pandemic, with the total purse set at €579,320, which translates to $629,770 or £494,073 or a 2.93% increase compared to last year.
In singles, the champion will walk away with €88,125 or 15% of the total prize money, while the runner-up will pocket €51,400, each representing a 3% increase over the prior year.
On the doubles side, the winning team will split €30,610, while their competitors will share €16,380 for their efforts. Like singles, these prizes had a respectable 3% increase compared to 2023.

2024 Full Breakdown
At a high level, organizers distribute prize money at the Open Sud de France by event, with 80% of proceeds going to the larger singles draw and the remaining 20% funding doubles.
However, to gain a sense of individual player and team earnings, we can drill down further and dissect prize money by round, where players earn more the further they progress through the tournament.
The following tables summarize this data since 2010, when the tournament started operating in Montpellier. For quick reference, I’ve included conversions of prize money to US dollars and sterling pounds, which I calculate using the prior year’s exchange rate on the day of the final for a close approximation of value.
