Although the most prestigious title in tennis doesn’t come equipped with the sport’s biggest financial reward, this year’s edition represents a significant increase on last year’s total. Below you will find a full breakdown of the Wimbledon prize money for 2023, including qualifying round winners right the way through to eventual champions.
Tennis as a sport has made significant moves to properly reward players all the way down the hierarchy, and the long-standing trend of renumeration for competitors in the qualifiers and early rounds has continued this year.
For example, those competing in the very first qualifying last week would have received £12,750 – a significant 15% jump from last year.
As is appropriate with the ever-expanding audience and lucrative broadcasting rights, players can expect to receive a significant boost compared to their 2022 earnings at the All England Lawn Club.
Despite not being the grandest prize money total across this year’s grand slams, the increase year-on-year stands at around 17.5% for the women’s and men’s singles winners – this is 13% more than last month’s French Open and 14% more than the first major of the year in Melbourne.
Both Elena Rybakina and Novak Djokovic received equal prize money shares for winning last year, an arrangement that has been a mainstay at Wimbledon since 2007.
The winners of both singles tournaments this year can expect to be rewarded with a record £2,350,000 sum, while the runners-up will still take home £1,175,000.

Wimbledon organisers have been eager to offer players record remuneration as the club continues to recover from the financial impact of the coronavirus pandemic.
Ian Hewitt, the Chairman of the All England Club, said: “We are delighted to offer record prize money to the players competing at The Championships this year, with double digit increases across the majority of events.
Our ambition with this distribution is to return the singles champions and runners-up prize money to the levels in 2019 prior to the pandemic whilst, alongside, providing deserved support for players in the early rounds of the event.”
