Wimbledon, the most prestigious tournament in the world and the third Slam of the year after the Australian Open and the Roland Garros, will start in few days. Just over a week ago we communicated a big news announced by the London open, a substantial increase in the prize money, the highest in its history: £ 44,7 million. A large increase in numbers compared to 2022.
Here’s how much you get for every Wimbledon win
Both men’s and women’s doubles will also see prize money improve by 10.7%. Commenting on this news, Ian Hewitt, CEO of the All England Tennis Club: “We are delighted to be able to announce a historic increase in earnings for players attending Wimbledon this year, with double-digit increases in most competitions which make up the event.
The All England club tournament will raise fees by 11.2% compared to the last edition, won by Novak Djokovic against Nick Kyrgios in the men’s final and by Elena Rybakina against Ons Jabeur in the women’s final.” The winners of the singles rounds will pocket £2,35 million, while the losers in the first round will take home £55k.
Compared to the Roland Garros, the London Slam tends to reward those who go further rather than those who stop in the first round. The Parisian tournament, on the other hand, has an extra eye for those who lose already in the first challenges, but those who raise the trophy pay slightly less.
As reported by Eurosport, here are the differences in terms of prize money between this year’s two editions of Roland Garros and Wimbledon
