The total prize money for the Wimbledon tennis tournament, which begins on June 30, will increase by seven percent, with singles champions each receiving £3 million (1.4 billion forints).
The organizers of the year’s third Grand Slam tournament announced on Thursday that the prize money for the two singles titles will be 11.1 percent higher than last year, with the total payout standing at £53.5 million — double the amount from ten years ago. First-round losers will pocket £66,000 (31 million forints), which is ten percent more than in 2024.
Last year, five-time Grand Slam champion and Roland Garros winner Carlos Alcaraz of Spain won the men’s singles, while Czech player Barbora Krejcikova took the women’s singles title at the grass-court tournament, which runs until July 13 and is held at the All England Club.

Carlos Alcaraz Has Earned the Most Prize Money in 2025 So Far
Although six months still remain in the 2025 season, Carlos Alcaraz can already be satisfied with his annual earnings. The Spanish superstar has already earned close to $7 million this season, and if he continues at this pace, he could reach the $10–12 million mark by year’s end. Carlos Alcaraz earned $10.3 million in 2024, which was the best year of his career.
Novak Djokovic holds the all-time earnings record, having earned $21646 145 in 2015, one of the best years of his career. That year, Djokovic won the Australian Open, Wimbledon, and the US Open, and was a finalist at Roland Garros. He also dominated the Masters events, winning Indian Wells, Miami, Monte Carlo, Rome, Beijing, Shanghai, Paris, and the year-end World Tour Finals, as well as reaching the final in Montreal and Cincinnati.
World number one Jannik Sinner came close to breaking Djokovic’s record last year, with the Italian earning $19,735,703 in 2024 — just short of the Serb’s all-time mark.
Is Another Alcaraz-Sinner Blockbuster on the Way?
In the men’s draw, defending champion Carlos Alcaraz of Spain is expected to be the top seed, closely followed by world number one Jannik Sinner. Third on the favorites list is seven-time champion Novak Djokovic, who lost to Alcaraz in last year’s final. Fourth on the odds is Jack Draper, who burst onto the world stage this year. Draper is the British hope and dark horse for another Wimbledon title, with fans expecting a great deal from him and secretly hoping he could become the home winner once again, following in the footsteps of Andy Murray.
