Wimbledon reveals record 2025 prize money – but defends finals start time change
Carlos Alcaraz is eyeing his third consecutive Wimbledon title this year (AFP via Getty) The winners of the singles titles at Wimbledon this year will take home £3m, as the tournament announced a record prize pot for players this year. Carlos Alcaraz is eyeing a third consecutive men's singles crown at SW19, while Czech player Barbora Krejcikova is the defending champion in the women's singles. Both received £2.7m for winning in 2024, but the singles champions in 2025 will receive a £300,000 increase. Advertisement The total prize pot has increased from £50m to £53.5m, a 7 per cent jump, while first round losers will receive £66,000 – a 10 per cent increase from last year. Meanwhile, the All England Lawn Tennis Club (AELTC) defended the change to the start time of both singles finals, from its usual 2pm slot to 4pm this year. Doubles finals will now take place from 1pm. Alcaraz's incredible Roland Garros final victory against Jannik Sinner took more than five hours. A similar length of final at Wimbledon this year would result in the roof being needed late on in the match, due to bad light. 'The consideration of the change has taken a lot of time, took a lot of thought and a lot of data analysis went into the decision,' explained AELTC chief executive Sally Bolton, at a media briefing on Thursday. Advertisement 'It's about an improved experience for all involved. Whether it's the doubles finals having greater certainty over their schedule, whether it's the fans having the opportunity to experience a day which builds to the crescendo of the singles finals. 'Or ensuring we have our champions crowned in front of the widest possible audience. Those were the primary drivers. We spent a lot of time considering the data and information in front of us from history and length of matches.' The singles final will now start at 11am (ET) in New York, a more convenient start time for viewers stateside. Barbora Krejcikova won the women's singles at Wimbledon last year (PA) This year's Championships also sees the absence of line judges, for the first time in the tournament's 147-year history. Advertisement Automated electronic line calling, via Hawk-Eye, will be used on all 18 match courts. Line umpires in previous years have been invited back to assist the chair umpire as 'match assistants'. The decision sees Wimbledon fall in line with the ATP Tour by installing electronic line calling, although Roland Garros opted for tradition by keeping in-person line umpires during the French Open. The 2025 Championships takes place from Monday 30 June to Sunday 13 July.

Wimbledon increases prize money by seven per cent to £53.5m total pot this year
Wimbledon prize money will increase by seven per cent to a total pot of £53.5million for this summer's Championships. The winners of the men's and women's singles titles will each receive £3million, an increase of more than 11 per cent on 2024, while a main draw spot is worth a minimum of £66,000, up 10 per cent year on year. Advertisement The All England Club's announcement comes amid growing player demands for a bigger share of grand slam profits. In April, 20 leading players sent a letter to the heads of the four majors calling for greater contributions and discussions were held at a meeting during the French Open. At Wimbledon's pre-tournament media briefing, chair Debbie Jevans said: 'We are absolutely committed to continuing our long-standing commitment to player compensation. 'We're immensely proud of the fact that if you look back 10 years, you can see the increase over that period (of 100 per cent) and seven per cent this year. Advertisement 'We have listened to the players, we have engaged with the players. Of course we will always listen and discuss with them but the focus on just the prize money at four events, the grand slams, does not get to the heart of what the challenge is with tennis. 'The challenge with tennis is the fact that the players don't have an off season, 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. 'As yet, there hasn't been any proposal to us as to how the tour is able to change its structure. Last year's men's champion Carlos Alcaraz won £2.7million (Mike Egerton/PA) 'There's a bigger picture here but, as a tennis player, they're always going to, I think, ask for more money.' Advertisement Two big changes at this year's tournament – which starts on June 30 – had previously been announced, with the singles finals moving from 2pm starts on the final weekend to 4pm, while line judges are being replaced by a live electronic calling system. The latter decision follows a move within the wider sport, although the French Open has resisted change and this year's event was again held with line calls decided purely by human officials. Wimbledon's removal of line judges was met with dismay by many and the All England Club revealed around 80 former officials would be employed this year as match assistants, with two on each court offering support to the umpire, while they will also provide back-up, should the electronic system fail. Behind the scenes, Wimbledon's biggest project remains the planned expansion into neighbouring Wimbledon Park, which would add a further 39 grass courts but is currently mired in legal challenges. Line judges are a thing of the past at Wimbledon (Steven Paston/PA) Although planning permission has been granted, a local protest group has brought a judicial review, which will be heard at the High Court on July 8 and 9 during the second week of the tournament. Advertisement A hearing into whether there is a statutory trust on the land will be heard in January 2026, further delaying the project, plans for which were first submitted in 2021. Wimbledon, meanwhile, will continue to provide support for Ukrainian players in terms of practice facilities and accommodation.
