Wimbledon 2025 prize money: Record amount on offer for men and women's champions

The Wimbledon finals will take place this weekend, with the women up first on Centre Court on Saturday afternoon before the men take centre stage on Sunday at the All England Lawn Tennis club.

Iga Swiatek will attempt to add a first Wimbledon title to her collection of five Grand Slams when she takes on Amanda Anisimova. At the age of 24, Swiatek has already triumphed four times at the French Open and once at the US Open.

Anisimova, the 13th seed, has reached the final after dumping out No.1 seed Aryna Sabalenka in an incident-packed semi-final. The American, 23, is competing in her first Grand Slam final.

Swiatek has already won a whopping $36,473,498 (£26,992,941) in prize money over her short but extremely successful career, while Anisimova has banked $6,545,206 (£4,844,237) over her career.

Having reached the final by winning six matches over the past two weeks, both players are already guaranteed to increase their earnings by £1,520,000. But they will be determined to lift the famous trophy and collect the £3million that goes to the winner, which is the same prize the men will be going for the following day.

Men and women have received equal prize money at Wimbledon since 2007 and the prize pot has been gradually increasing every year, from £44.7m in 2023 to £50m last year to now stand at £53.5m. That is a 7 per cent increase on last year and double the amount awarded in 2015.

The increase in prize money comes after most top players signed a letter, addressed to the four Grand Slam tournaments, which requested better remuneration.

“We have listened to the players. We have engaged with the players,” said Debbie Jevans, the chair of the All England Club before the tournament started.

“Sally [Bolton, the AELTC chief executive] had a meeting in Paris, as did I, with a number of them. What I think is important, which of course has been discussed with them, the focus on just the prize money at the four events, ie Grand Slams, does not get to the heart of what the challenge is for tennis.

“The challenge with tennis is the fact that players don’t have an off-season, which they want, they have increasing injuries that they are speaking about. We have 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.”
