Renovation work finally commenced at the close of the 2018 edition of the tournament. Redeveloped seating and a retractable roof was constructed for Court Philippe-Chatrier and the new 5,000-seat Court Simonne-Mathieu was opened, having been named after France's second-highest achieving female tennis player, and noted for its innovative use of greenhouse encasing architecture.{{Cite web|url=https://www.independent.co.uk/sport/tennis/french-open-2019-day-one-court-simonnemathieu-roland-garros-paris-new-court-a8931081.html|title=Court Simonne-Mathieu stunning new addition to Roland Garros|date=2019-05-26|website=The Independent|location=London|access-date=2019-06-02|archive-date=24 May 2022|archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/archive/20220524/https://www.independent.co.uk/sport/tennis/french-open-2019-day-one-court-simonnemathieu-roland-garros-paris-new-court-a8931081.html|url-status=live}} The renewal of the venue has been generally well received by the players and the public.{{Cite web|url=https://www.francetvinfo.fr/sports/tennis/roland-garros/un-ecrin-extraordinaire-le-court-simonne-mathieu-de-roland-garros-fait-l-unanimite-chez-les-joueurs-et-spectateurs_3470487.html|title="Un écrin extraordinaire" : le court Simonne-Mathieu de Roland-Garros fait l'unanimité chez les joueurs et spectateurs|date=2019-06-02|work=France Info|language=fr|access-date=2019-06-02|archive-date=2 June 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190602152852/https://www.francetvinfo.fr/sports/tennis/roland-garros/un-ecrin-extraordinaire-le-court-simonne-mathieu-de-roland-garros-fait-l-unanimite-chez-les-joueurs-et-spectateurs_3470487.html|url-status=live}} The 2020 edition of the tournament, which was the first to be assisted by the roof over Philippe-Chatrier, was postponed to late September and early October and was played in front of limited spectators, due to the COVID-19 pandemic.{{cite web|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2020/09/27/sports/tennis/french-open-preview.html|title=New for This Pandemic French Open: Fall Weather and Lights|work=The New York Times|date=27 September 2020|author=Christopher Clarey|access-date=29 September 2020|archive-date=29 September 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200929114138/https://www.nytimes.com/2020/09/27/sports/tennis/french-open-preview.html|url-status=live}} Floodlights were also installed over each of the courts in the precinct, allowing the tournament to facilitate night matches for the first time.{{cite web|url=https://tennishead.net/french-open-lights-up-as-another-tradition-dies/|title=French Open lights up as another tradition dies|date=21 September 2020|work=tennishead.net|access-date=29 September 2020|archive-date=28 October 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201028005930/https://tennishead.net/french-open-lights-up-as-another-tradition-dies/|url-status=live}} In 2021, the tournament was back in the traditional slot of late May and early June.{{cite news|url=https://www.bbc.com/sport/tennis/56672564|title=French Open postponed by one week in hope more fans can attend|publisher=BBC|date=8 April 2021|access-date=11 June 2021|archive-date=11 June 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210611211120/https://www.bbc.com/sport/tennis/56672564|url-status=live}}

The French Open has been the only major played on clay courts since 1978, when the US Open changed to hard courts.{{cite web | url=https://www.sportskeeda.com/tennis/news-french-open-clay-surface-grass-courts-clay-origin | title=Why is the French Open played on clay? | date=19 May 2022 | access-date=23 May 2022 | archive-date=24 May 2022 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220524032205/https://www.sportskeeda.com/tennis/news-french-open-clay-surface-grass-courts-clay-origin | url-status=live }}{{cite web|url=https://bleacherreport.com/articles/181055-the-french-open-for-dummies|title=The French Open for Dummies|work=Bleacher Report|date=22 May 2009|access-date=25 January 2022|archive-date=25 January 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220125060130/https://syndication.bleacherreport.com/amp/181055-the-french-open-for-dummies.amp.html|url-status=live}} Clay courts slow down the ball and produce a high bounce when compared with grass courts or hard courts.{{citation needed|date=June 2024}} For this reason, clay courts take away some of the advantages of big servers and serve-and-volleyers, which makes it hard for these types of players to dominate on the surface.{{citation needed|date=June 2024}} For example, Pete Sampras, known for his huge serve and who won 14 Grand Slam titles, never won the French Open – his best result was reaching the semi-finals in 1996. Many other notable players have won multiple Grand Slam events but have never won the French Open, including John McEnroe, Frank Sedgman, John Newcombe, Venus Williams, Stefan Edberg, Boris Becker, Lleyton Hewitt, Andy Murray, Jimmy Connors, Louise Brough, Virginia Wade and Martina Hingis; McEnroe and Edberg lost their only French Open finals appearances in five sets.

On the other hand, players whose games are more suited to jumpier surfaces, such as Rafael Nadal, Björn Borg, Ivan Lendl, Mats Wilander, Justine Henin and Chris Evert, have found great success at this tournament. In the Open Era, the only male players who have won both the French Open and Wimbledon, played on faster grass courts, are Rod Laver, Jan Kodeš, Björn Borg, Andre Agassi, Rafael Nadal, Roger Federer, Novak Djokovic and Carlos Alcaraz and only female players are Evonne Goolagong Cawley, Margaret Court, Billie Jean King, Chris Evert, Martina Navratilova, Steffi Graf, Serena Williams, Maria Sharapova, Garbiñe Muguruza, Simona Halep and Ashleigh Barty. Borg's French Open–Wimbledon double was achieved three times consecutively.{{cite web |url=http://www.wimbledon.com/heritage/history/legends/bjorn-borg |title=Wimbledon Legends – Bjorn Borg |publisher=Wimbledon.com |first=Ronald |last=Atkin |access-date=4 February 2012 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120211101251/http://www.wimbledon.com/heritage/history/legends/bjorn-borg |archive-date=11 February 2012 }}

The trophies have been awarded to the winners since 1953 and are manufactured by Mellerio dits Meller, a famous Parisian jewelry house. They are all made of pure silver with finely etched decorations on their side. Each new singles winner gets his or her name written on the base of the trophy. Winners receive custom-made pure silver replicas of the trophies they have won.{{cite web|title=An A to Z of Roland Garros|url=http://www.rolandgarros.com/en_FR/tournament_info/201307161374012338649.html|website=rolandgarros.com|publisher=Fédération Française de Tennis (FFT)|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150402233658/http://www.rolandgarros.com/en_FR/tournament_info/201307161374012338649.html|archive-date=2 April 2015}} They are usually presented by the president of the French Tennis Federation (FFT).

The trophy awarded to the winner of the men's singles is called the {{Lang|fr|Coupe des Mousquetaires}} (The Musketeers' Cup). It is named in honor of the "Four Musketeers". The trophy weighs 14 kg, is 40 cm high and 19 cm wide.{{cite news |last1=Absalon |first1=Julien |title=Pourquoi les vainqueurs ne repartent pas avec les vrais trophées |url=https://www.lefigaro.fr/le-scan-sport/le-saviez-vous/2014/05/25/27006-20140525ARTFIG00154-les-vainqueurs-de-rg-ne-repartent-pas-avec-les-vrais-trophees.php |access-date=3 June 2021 |work=Le Figaro |date=26 June 2014 |location=Paris |language=fr |archive-date=3 June 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210603113120/https://www.lefigaro.fr/le-scan-sport/le-saviez-vous/2014/05/25/27006-20140525ARTFIG00154-les-vainqueurs-de-rg-ne-repartent-pas-avec-les-vrais-trophees.php |url-status=live }} The current design was created in 1981 by the Mellerio dit Meller.

The trophy awarded to the winner of the women's singles is called the Coupe Suzanne Lenglen (Suzanne Lenglen Cup) since 1979. The current cup was awarded for the first time in 1986. It is, with a few details, a replica of a cup offered at the time by the city of Nice to Suzanne Lenglen. This trophy, donated by Suzanne Lenglen's family to the Musée National du Sport, was awarded between 1979 and 1985 to every winner until the FFT made a copy. Each winner receives a smaller-size replica and the original remains property of the FFT at all times.

For 2025, the prize money pool was announced to be €56.352 million, an increase of 5.37% compared to the prize pool for 2024 edition.{{cite web |title=French Open 2025 Prize Money |url=https://www.perfect-tennis.com/prize-money/french-open/ |website=Perfect Tennis |access-date=30 April 2025 |date=30 April 2025 |archive-date=30 April 2025 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20250430084418/https://www.perfect-tennis.com/prize-money/french-open/ |url-status=live }}
