We are approaching the business end of the second grand slam of the year in Paris and will we be crowning a new men and women's champion this weekend?
We have a first-time major champion in the women's draw in the unseeded Jelena Ostapenko, while in the men's singles, defending champion Novak Djokovic t
umbled out with a quarter-finals defeat to Dominic Thiem.
Djokovic beat Andy Murray in the final last year to win his first ever French Open title and picked up €2 million (£1.73m) in prize money in the process.
This year's prize pool across the whole tournament has increased from €32m last year to €36m.
