Maria Sharapova French Open 2014 Prize Money

How much money will Maria Sharapova earn from her efforts in the 2014 French Open? If she wins the title, the Russian world #7 will pocket 1,500,000 euros. If she loses, she will still go home with 750,000 euros. If Sharapova will win, she will overtake Venus Williams as #2 in the all-time prize money leader list. However, she will still be far away from the leading women's tennis earner, Serena Williams.

Here is the current standing prior to the start of the 2014 French Open.

INTERESTING FACTS ABOUT SHARAPOVA in this year's French Open:

- Sharapova did something she had never done before in the semifinals.

After getting outplayed in the first set, Maria Sharapova clawed back to beat Eugenie Bouchard in the first semifinal, 4-6, 7-5, 6-2. You would think someone with such a full career wouldn't have any new things to achieve, but she's found another one - this is the first time Sharapova has ever come back from a set down to win in three straight matches at a tournament.

- Sharapova is back up to world No.6 now, and No.5 if she wins the title.

Sharapova, who is currently No.8, will rise to No.6 as a runner-up and No.5 as the champion. If that still sounds a little low, don't worry - she has only one match win to defend the rest of the year (last year from this point she lost in the French Open final, fell second round at Wimbledon and lost her opening match in Cincy - and then didn't play the entire rest of the year because of a shoulder injury).
