Wimbledon is back for another year and an eye-catching £50million will be up for grabs in SW19 over the next few weeks. The famous Grand Slam event will take place from July 1 to July 14 at the All England Tennis Club in south-west London. The likes of Carlos Alcaraz and Iga Swiatek – alongside British hopes Jack Draper, Katie Boulter and Emma Raducanu – will all be competing for the increased jackpot.

Alcaraz will defend the title he won in dramatic fashion by beating Novak Djokovic in a five-set epic in 2023, while Marketa Vondrousova is the defending champion in the women’s singles. The overall prize pot has been increased from last year’s total of £44.7m to £50m, meaning that players who go out in the first round will still net £60,000.



Deborah Jevans, Chair of the All England Club, said: “With this year’s Championships only days away, I am delighted to announce a record prize money fund of £50 million, with increases for players in every round and across every event. I am particularly pleased that we have been able to increase prize money for the wheelchair and quad wheelchair competitions to £1 million for the first time. “Interest in attending Wimbledon has never been greater, with unprecedented demand for tickets through our public ballot and corporate hospitality.

A thriving, successful Championships gives us the opportunity to give back: to the sport, to our local community, and to strategically invest for the future.” Winner: £2.7m Runners-up.
