It will be the 126th edition of the French Open and the second Grand Slam event of 2022. The main singles draws will include 16 qualifiers for men and 16 for women out of 128 players in each draw.

This is the first Grand Slam tournament since the international governing bodies of tennis allowed players from Russia and Belarus to continue to participate in tennis events, but will not compete under the name or flags of Russia and Belarus until further notice, due to the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine.[2][3]

Point distribution and prize money

Point distribution

As a Grand Slam tournament, the points for the French Open are the highest of all ATP and WTA tournaments.[4] These points determine the world ATP and WTA rankings for men's and women's competition, respectively. In both singles and doubles, women received slightly higher point totals compared to their male counterparts at each round of the tournament, except for the first and last.[4][5] Points and rankings for the wheelchair events fall under the jurisdiction of the ITF Wheelchair Tennis Tour, which also places Grand Slams as the highest classification.[6]
