Wimbledon increases prize money, champions to receive three million pounds each

Wimbledon has increased its prize money for this year's championships to 53.5 million pounds ($72.59 million), a 7 per cent increase on 2024 and double what they offered a decade ago, the All England Lawn Tennis Club (AELTC) said on Thursday.

The singles champions will receive three million pounds each, a 11.1 per cent increase on the prize money Carlos Alcaraz and Barbora Krejcikova took home last year.

Singles players who exit the first round will receive 66,000 pounds, a 10 per cent increase on last year.
