Tennis, Wimbledon richer than Roland Garros: prize money of 52 million euros

Tennis knows no crisis. And this is demonstrated by the Grand Slam tournaments which, year after year, increase their prize pool to the sound of millions of euros. After Roland Garros, which in June had reached almost 50 million (+12.3% compared to last season), the counter-overtaking of Wimbledon also promptly arrived, which in this edition will distribute around 52 million euros, 5 more than in 2022 A growth of 11.2% which makes it the richest tournament in the world immediately after the US Open 2022 (55 million). In short, the lean times of the pandemic, in which the top 20 saw their salaries reduced by 40%, now seem really just a bad and distant memory.

For the winners 2.75 million

To the winners 2.75 million, more money also to those who lose in the first round
The winners of the two singles tournaments at the All England Club will receive 2.57 million euros (450,000 euros more than those who triumphed at Roland Garros) while the finalists will receive 1.374 million. Greater prizes also for those who already lose in the first round: they will receive 64 thousand euros, 10% more than in 2022. And even those who fail to have the honor of being part of the main draw will be able to smile. In fact, the losers in the last round of qualifying will receive 42,000 euros, 8,000 more than those who failed in extremis to enter the main draw at Roland Garros. “Our ambition with this distribution is to restore the prize money for champions and runners-up to pre-Covid 2019 levels, while also providing well-deserved support for players in the early rounds of the event,” said Ian Hewitt, president of the All England Club.
