Wimbledon
has announced a record-breaking prize money pool of 53.5 million pounds ($73 million) for 2025, with singles champions set to receive three million pounds ($4 million) each, representing a 7% increase from last year and double the amount from a decade ago.
The winners' prize money shows an 11.1% increase compared to the previous year, responding to growing player demands for larger shares of Grand Slam profits. First-round losers in singles matches will receive 66,000 pounds, marking a 10% year-on-year increase.
"We're immensely proud of the fact that if you look back 10 years, you can see the increase over that period and 7% this year. And we have listened to the players, we have engaged with the players," said All England chair Deborah Jevans.
"The focus on just the prize money at four events, the Grand Slams, does not get to the heart of what the challenge is for tennis," Jevans explained.
Poll
Do you believe that the lack of an offseason is a major issue for tennis players?
Yes, it affects their performance
No, they can manage
"The challenge with tennis is the fact that the players don't have an offseason which they want, they have increasing injuries that they're speaking about, and we've always said that we as Wimbledon are willing to engage and talk with the tours to try and find solutions, and that door remains open."

The billionaire pop star looked stunning in a grey coloured dress, braided hair and matching boots. But a picture of Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift sitting at the venue has gone viral for all the wrong reasons. As the NFL star was spotted sitting and speaking to Taylor Swift, his inner thighs were visible due to the length of his shorts, and this has sparked panic among fans.

Is Cody Rhodes destined to be WWE's next King of the Ring? Exploring the chances
Image via WWE Cody Rhodes is set to compete in the 2025 WWE King of the Ring Tournament. WWE announced the start of this year's King and Queen of the Ring tournament at the 2025 Money in the Bank Premium Live Event. The single elimination style competition kicked off on the following edition of Monday Night RAW, with the final field revealed for both the men's and women's divisions. Interestingly, there was one name that caught the attention of fans that was not expected to participate. He is none other than the poster boy of WWE, Cody Rhodes. Cody Rhodes will be a participant in the WWE King of the Ring tournament this year On the June 9th edition of Monday Night RAW, Cody Rhodes was revealed to be one of the competitors for the King of the Ring tournament. The American Nightmare will be a part of the first round Fatal 4-Way match, pitting him against Andrade El Idolo, Shinsuke Nakamura, and Damian Priest. This will be the first time Rhodes competes in the King of the Ring tournament in his WWE career. The King of the Ring tournament has often been seen as the beacon of opportunity for rising stars to ascend to the next level. For years, the fans have witnessed careers being altered for superstars after winning the prestigious accolade, such as Bret Hart, Brock Lesnar, and most famously, Stone Cold Steve Austin. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Würzburg: GEERS sucht 700 Testhörer für Hörgeräte ohne Zuzahlung GEERS Undo Moreover, it did the same for Gunther, who won the tournament last year and won the World Championship at the 2024 WWE SummerSlam event. In the case of Cody Rhodes, he has already become the face of the company three years after making his return to WWE. While he can surely reach the finals of the tournament set to take place at the WWE Night of Champions event, a better booking can see him lose to a young and rising star who would get significant push at his expense. Furthermore, they would also receive a World Championship match at SummerSlam. As for Cody Rhodes, early speculation hinted at his rematch against John Cena for the Undisputed WWE title at SummerSlam this year. So even if another WWE superstar wins King of the Ring, Rhodes can still pursue a World title shot while giving back to the business at the same time.
