Wimbledon 2023 prize money: how much will men’s and ladies’ singles winner earn? Prize fund breakdown

The third Grand Slam of the year is nearly here as tennis stars from around the world head to London to compete at the All England Lawn Tennis Club in SW19.

Novak Djokovic will be hoping to secure his 24th Grand Slam after winning the French Open earlier this month. He has now extended his lead over Rafael Nadal who sits just behind him with 22 Grand Slams to his name.

However, he will be in fierce competition against Carlos Alcaraz, the world number two, who will be hoping to add yet another title to his dossier.

Andy Murray had been hoping to reach the top-32 rankings ahead of the tournament in order to secure a better seeding, but his shock exit at the Queen’s Club Championships has unfortuntely hindered this progress. The Briton will be joined by fellow compatriots Cameron Norrie, Dan Evans, Katie Boutler, Heather Watson and several others who were handed wildcards into the main draw.

Here is the breakdown for the prize money in the men’s and women’s singles events at Wimbledon this year:
