Which French Open prize honors sportsmanship and cooperation with the press?

The French Open prize for sportsmanship and cooperation with the press is the Prix Orange.

The award was introduced at Roland-Garros in 1981 as part of a trio of informal honors recognizing qualities beyond match results. The Prix Orange celebrates the player viewed as especially fair-minded, approachable and cooperative with journalists and the public. Its name is a playful counterpart to the Prix Citron, which traditionally recognized a player with a sharper personality or reputation for being less cooperative.

The third award, the Prix Bourgeon, honors a promising revelation or emerging player. These prizes add a human-interest layer to a tournament otherwise dominated by rankings, seedings and statistics. They are not Grand Slam titles and do not affect a player’s official record, but they became a recognizable part of French Open culture.

Roger Federer was a notable Prix Orange recipient, winning it repeatedly in the 2000s. Gustavo Kuerten also received it three times, in 1998, 2002 and 2004. The main trap in this question is the similarly named Prix Citron: both relate to personality and press relations, but the Orange is the positive sportsmanship-and-cooperation award.
