Wimbledon Sets Record £53.5M Prize Money for 2025 Championships

Wimbledon in 2025 will feature a record prize fund of £53.5 million, marking a 7% increase from the previous year and more than double the amount offered a decade ago. Singles champions, including defending men's champion Carlos Alcaraz and women's champion Barbora Krejcikova, will each receive £3 million, an 11.1% rise from 2024, while first-round losers will earn £66,000, up 10%. The total prize pool also supports doubles and wheelchair categories with increased payouts, reflecting Wimbledon's commitment to pay parity and player welfare. For the first time, Wimbledon will replace line judges with electronic line-calling technology across all matches to improve fairness and efficiency. Additionally, the timing of finals has been adjusted to enhance viewer experience worldwide, particularly for U.S. audiences. The tournament begins on June 30, with top players like Alcaraz and Novak Djokovic expected to compete for the prestigious titles and record earnings.
