History of Wimbledon Prize Money

Tennis players competing in Wimbledon or any of the four Grand Slams did not receive prize money until the start of the Open Era in 1968. Before, players competing in these tournaments were amateurs and were only compensated for their travel.

Since the start of the Open Era, prize money at Wimbledon has increased exponentially. The total prize money for the first Wimbledon of the Open Era was £26,150, with the men's singles winner taking home £2,000 and the ladies' singles winner taking home £750. The prize money steadily rose, with total prize money reaching six figures in 1975. By 1984, the total prize money had reached over £1 million and the men's singles winner was earning over £100,000.

Male tennis players received more prize money than their female counterparts until 2007, when equal pay was finally distributed across both genders at Wimbledon.

The winner of the men's and ladies' singles at Wimbledon began earning £1,000,000 or more in 2010, and this year, the champion will take home a record £3,000,000.
