Turin, June 12 (LaPresse) – The Wimbledon prize pool continues to rise. This year, the Championships will distribute a total of £53.5 million (€62.7 million) to players. This represents a 7% increase from 2024 and double the amount offered a decade ago, announced the All England Lawn Tennis Club (AELTC). The male singles champion and the female singles champion will each receive £3 million (€3.5 million), £300,000 more than the amounts awarded to Carlos Alcaraz and Barbora Krejcikova in 2024. A 4% increase is expected for the men's and women's doubles winners, who will earn £680,000 (just under €800,000), while the mixed doubles champions will see a 3% increase, receiving £135,000 (just under €160,000). First-round losers in singles will receive £66,000 (€77,000), which is a 10% increase compared to last year. The All England Lawn Tennis Club also confirmed the full implementation of the electronic line-calling system in real-time. This technology, which was partially tested last year, marks the end of 147 years of using line judges at Wimbledon.
