Record prize money is on offer at this year’s Wimbledon, with the eventual winners of the men’s and women’s singles titles each receiving £3.6m.
Prize money was a contentious subject ahead of the 2026 Championships, leading Wimbledon to announce its biggest ever single-year uplift in an attempt to appease unhappy players.
The All England Club revealed a 20 per cent increase, with the total prize pot rising to £64.2m from last year’s £53.5m. Prize money for qualifying also increased to £6.2m.
The world’s leading players welcomed the prize money announcement as “genuine and significant step forward”, but it has not stopped protests from the players during the tournament.
The players have long argued that they should be receiving a greater percentage of the overall revenues generated by the grand slams.
Wimbledon chair Debbie Jevans said, however, that it made “no sense” to focus on prize money as a ratio of tournament earnings.
