At the French Open, doubles players Marcus Daniell and McKenzie McDonald received over £8,500 for playing just four points of their second-round match, before withdrawing due to injury. By taking to the court, they secured a combined total of £23,440 in prize money, but had they withdrawn before the match, they would have only received £14,916. The tournament faced scheduling issues due to weather interruptions and administrative errors, causing frustration among players. Additionally, controversies involving player complaints about crowd behavior and player performance highlighted the chaotic nature of the competition.
