Taking home the trophy at Wimbledon is the dream of every tennis player, and with that trophy comes big money. Jannik Sinner and Iga Swiatek claimed the grand prizes with their respective singles championship wins, but overall the 2025 tournament saw an 8% increase in total prize money from last year's tournament.

Alcaraz is the defending champion in the Wimbledon men’s singles after he defeated Novak Djokovic in the final for the second year in a row. The winner between Alcaraz and Sinner will pocket £3m and the runner-up will walk away with £1.52m.

The total prize pot at Wimbledon in 1968, the first year of the Open Era, was £26,150, around $63,000. The men’s champion, Rod Laver, picked up $4,800 (£2,000) and the women’s winner, Billie Jean King, won $1,800 (£750).
