What is Wimbledon?

Founded in 1877, the Championships, or, as it’s known around the world, Wimbledon, is the oldest tennis tournament in history. The prestigious tournament is famed for its iconic grass courts at the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club in South West London and each year welcomes the very best tennis player on the ATP and WTA circuit to compete for the biggest prize in the sport.

Wimbledon is one of four Grand Slam tournaments available to professional tennis players each year – the others being the Australian Open, French Open and U.S. Open – but for many, Wimbledon is the most sought-after prize owing to its rich heritage in tennis.

How much does the winner of Wimbledon get?

Since 2007, Wimbledon has been celebrated for sharing the prize money equally amongst the Men’s and Women’s categories… and this year is certainly no different.

As the global interest in tennis grows, the winners and runners-ups of the Single’s tournament have enjoyed a healthy return for their performances at Wimbledon, with the potential jackpot rising year-on-year. Wimbledon 2024 will see another record-breaking prize money for the champions.
