Record £40.3m prize money for Wimbledon Open

Tournament organisers have announced that the total prize money for this year's Wimbledon Open will be a record £40.3m or $FJD109.5m.

The winners of the men's and women's singles will each win £2m or $FJD5.43m a decrease from the last time full capacity crowds attended in 2019.

Last year's Wimbledon was played in front of reduced crowds because of Covid-19 restrictions.

Wimbledon has said the 2022 pot "continues to place importance on supporting players in the early rounds of the event," and has increased prize money in the qualifying rounds.
