Recent problems for the French tennis federation (FFT), including an investigation into its president for alleged improper ticket sales, have not prevented it from staying financially successful.
The federation has seen its income go up by 70 percent since 2007 and more 30 percent since five years ago, making 200 million Euros ($224 million) annually, chiefly through the French Open. That gives it a profit of 75 million Euros ($86 million), according to the newly-installed Jeremy Botton, its director general.
It has more than 460,000 spectators despite cramped facilities that are the smallest among the Grand Slams.
The federation, which recently signed Potel et Chabot as a sponsor to bring its official suppliers up to 14 companies, has BNP Paribas as its primary sponsor and eight official sponsors including Emirates, FedEx, IBM and Peugeot.
