Winners of the 2017 Wimbledon will be 10% richer than last year’s champions after the All England Club announced an increase in prize money.
The tennis tournament organisers have increased the prize pot from £2 million ($2.6 million) to £2.2 million ($2.8 million) this year for male and female competitors, with Andy Murray and Angelique Kerber favourites to walk away with the cash.
Here’s the full breakdown of Wimbledon prize money:
First round — £35,000
Second round — £57,000
Third round — £90,000
Fourth round — £147,000
Quarter-final — £275,000
Semi-final — £550,000
Runner-up — £1,1,00,000
Winner — £2,200,000
Total prize money allowance stands at £31.6 million, up 12.5% from last year’s £28.1 million. This is more than double the £14.6 million prize money on offer in 2011, according to the official Wimbledon website.
In that same time period, the allowance for the competition winner has also doubled from £1.1 million in 2011 to £2.2 million in 2017.
